Well, I had my weigh-in, which I will admit I'd been dreading, but I worried for naught. I lost 2lbs this week, one of which was a new pound
(I put on 1lb last week
). Hopefully this will be the end of my yo-yo period and I'll continue in my downward spiral.
That would be so great for you! I hope you can keep your will power up to get it done we will be here
for ya!
That being said, Christmas is coming up
and I have several meals out planned (not including Christmas day itself).
I'm trying to get out of Christmas dinner altogether. I'm usually invited to my friend's mum's house and she serves massive portions. I swear to god, you have never seen so much food in all your life! Three years ago, instead of letting us help ourselves, she put the food straight on the plates for everyone. I wasn't singled out in any way, but the amount of food was unreal. It would've fed a third world family for a week! I was the only person who didn't clear their plate, which I've never been allowed to live down. Now all I hear when I'm invited for dinner is, "you better clear your plate, or you won't get any pudding!". Once I retorted, "then I won't be having pudding", and got a clip 'round the ear for my cheek!
Can you try to explain to everyone how hard your working to lose the weight and would love to participate in all the activities. Maybe some of them can or you can bring some lower calorie dishes that you could eat?
Anyhoo, the subject hasn't come up yet and I'm not going to be the first to raise it. I'll wait until someone says something, then make up a lame excuse and bow out gracefully. Or I'll wimp out, like I did last year and the year before, go anyway and eat far more than I intend to, feel rotten about it, then kick myself for not refusing the invitation in the first place!
Aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh!
