So I think that I have attended about 8 Holiday parties within the last couple of weeks. I found that if there was coffee, I was not tempted to go off of the plan. There was one party where i had a couple beers. I could have been more prepaired and brought my own drink, but to be honest, I didn't mind having the beers.
The absolute hardest temptation was last weekend. I was dishing up a slice of pumpkin pie for my son, and there it was. The holy grail of Holiday deserts; A HOME MADE PEACAN PIE. I almost had to leave the party.
A quick chat with Trudy and I was over it.
Trudy has some great surviving the Holiday tip sheets if anyone is interested. I am down 43 Lbs. now. I had to go out and buy some new clothes. It is amazing what a difference I feel in my clothes.
About two weeks ago people really started noticing my weight loss. It seems now that everywhere I go people are telling me how great I look. Which amazes me because I still weigh 360 Lbs. It doesn't get old though. I loof forward to seeing my relatives that I usually only see once a year. They are mostly very fit people and they have always shown great concern for me.
My cousin Kathy just died this year. I think she was 35. She was heavy all of her life, and had many health issue including Diabetes. I miss her dearly. But she is part of many different thing that motivate me to continue to do my best and stick with it.
I am looking forward to the new year, we have several friends that are going to start the program after the first of the year. If you or anyone you know wants to join us, drop a line. 503-998-8021
