Had a successful eating day yesterday. I feel so happy to be back on track (again). Today a friend wants to celebrate her birthday at Five Guys AND lunch is being provided at work so I decided to enter all my food now to see where I would be at the end of the day if I eat the food that is available. I thought it was going to be horrendous once it was all entered but really, now I know I can go forth and still stay within my caloric limit. Granted, the food might not be the most nutritious but I find that when I'm trying to refocus I have to start with keeping the calories in check and THEN I can focus on whole foods. I also know that if I hadn't taken the time to do this today, I could have easily FAR exceeded my caloric limit by not paying careful attention to the little "extras" that I know will be available today as well both at work and at dinner. This way, I've entered what I know I can eat making careful choices not to include all of my options (i.e. cheese, mayo, fries, pasta salad, coke). That probably seems like a no-brainer to most but sometimes if I think I'm already having too many calories, it's easy for me to think, what difference is cheese, mayo, fries, pasta salad, coke, etc really going to make? Obviously, quite a big difference. I think it would have been difficult if I had entered the bare minimum of what I thought I was going to eat today and see the calories be over my limit--I would have felt a little discouraged. I'm thrilled to see (remind myself) that I can eat what others are eating and still be in control. Good reminder for me.

The good news is that since I started using FS last year around this time, I'm down over 20lbs. and even in my few months of absence from FS, I maintained the loss. Last year at this time, of course, I thought that I would have lost A LOT more (that was the plan, of course) but if I can lose another 20 this year and maintain taht additional loss, I'm still winning. Maybe slow and steady will help me win my race.

Congratulations on keeping the 20 pounds off. I thought I would be further along too, but like you I have managed to keep the 20 pounds I lost in the beginning of last year off too. At first I was discouraged, and then I thought hey I lost 20 pounds; that is definetly something to celebrate. Good job on choosing wisely today. It can be really tough to eat out especially with a group. Wishing you continued success.

yep you are right. You are 20lbs better than you were when you started! That is the mantra I live by.. and chances are if you had not started you would have gained more weight living like you used to.. so in reality you are even -more better off-. Not real clean on the grammar train there.. but you get the point. If you lose 10 or 20 lbs a year that is awesome.. you only fail if you quit and give up. If it takes you 10 years to lose it all... so what every year you are better than you were and your body is better off than it was... yay us! Would I like to lose my weight faster? Heck yes.. have I.. sadly no.. but maybe just maybe that is why I was able to stick to it this time and keep it off.. I have gone slow and indulged when I wanted to.. so I never freaked out and went off the deep end and "quit" my "diet" This is forever this time and the reason why I know it will work is because I have been doing it so long and I found what works for me. A little at a time adds up. I have been averaging 20 lbs a year.. and I am so much better off than when I started.. It may take me 5 or more years to get it all off.. but that is fine by me.. I did not gain it all over night and I have made peace with the fact that I will not lose it over night.. it may take me longer than some but the end result is still rewarding and I am worth it. :)
