Thank God my band is working...

Because the last few days have been pretty stressful and I have definitely found myself responding thru stress-eating and drinking... BUT - although some of my choices have been poor, the band is doing it's job and I can't over-do-it... Examples: Choosing mozzerella sticks instead of chicken nuggets at Lucia's school yesterday. Thankfully, I could only do one. This morning I got the breakfast platter from McDonald's. Really?!?!? What am I thinking? I ate 2 bites of sausage and 3 bites of egg and am full. It's like my mind isn't making the connection that I just can't eat that much anymore! Thankfully though, I'm smart enough not to push it and I've been stopping when I am full. (Even with the small amount I ate this morning, I'm making the "ate too much" gurgling sound) ~~~~~~~~~~~~ On the bright side, I'm down 3.2 pounds this week to 209. That is 68.5 pounds lost and one pound away from my 25% goal. Yay! In going back and looking at my weekly weight stats, it seems that one week a month I have a big loss - so if this one is it, I'm okay with that! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ They're calling for a big storm here this weekend - if we don't lose power, it will be great to just hang out, wrap presents and finish cards. Fingers crossed!
