I am mentally preparing for the Thanksgiving weekend in the US - dealing with everything from changing my routine (bus trip, staying at my sister's house which is a snacker's heaven - or hell - not sure which).

I am less concerned about the big Thursday feast which I know I can manage than I am about the constant exposure to processed carbs.
I had gotten out of the habit of tracking everything in my mouth the past several weeks and am now back into that habit which supports me in being very conscious about what I eat.
I have also planned various exercise/working out and other activities to support me in staying active and out of the kitchen and away from the TV.
This will be my first non work-related trip since surgery 6 months ago - wish me luck!

I purchased a blouse last week at Nordstrom without trying it on, just looked at it on the rack and purchased. I went back to get it in another color yesterday because when I wore it yesterday I loved it. I automatically picked the large because I assumed that was the size I had on. I asked the sales person to double check the tag of the top I was wearing, It was a medium! I usually buy medium tops now but sometimes I forget and grab larges. The sales person said "You have to remember you are little now!" That made me feel so good. When she said that, she had no idea how large I was when I started. When people that didn't know me when I was huge comment that I am small, it really helps it sink in with me that I am actually a small person now.
