Bad Choices or, I need a Keeper!

[voiceomt2002 4]

I'm up and down like a yo-yo on my food log. One day, I'm a good girl and eat less than 30g of carbs, below 1000 calories, and I'm a happy camper.

The next day, some idiot who doesn't understand the problems of a bandster shoves something under my nose, and I go for it like a shark after a seal. I know it's my choice, but darn it, it's hard to resist a wheedling friend begging, "..just a teensy piece of this cake I baked myself. Won't you try just a little bit, Lena? Just this once..." (I'm beginning to hate that phrase, Just This Once.)

However, this weekend I can blame only on myself. Yep, there's nothing so joyous as eating too quickly and finding yourself yakking up your lunch under the bleachers at a festival. What I ate was a good thing, I just ate too quickly and didn't chew well. Makes a great impression on passersby.

I'm still losing weight, but it's coming off very slowly now. I'm eating the right amounts of mostly the right foods, but once in awhile there's an "oops."

Sigh! And then last night Dante and I were too tired to cook. We stopped at the grocery store and bought a pre-made beef roast au jus. Just heat and eat. Delicious, nutritious, and within my carb count. I was so proud of myself when I filled out that entry in my food log.

Until about an hour later when the itching began. I'm allergic to nuts. Nothing on the package said anything about nuts, but the signs are unmistakable. I've got a case of Franken-hives, which incidentally is also on top of the sunburn I earned over the weekend.

Hint: Don't scratch a sunburn, no matter how bad your hives are! (whimper!)

Thank goodness the Benadryl pills pass my stoma without so much as a squeak.

I think at this time of our journy we are our weight is going up and down. I know mine is. I go down two and up one or two and then back down. I have been doing this for two weeks. I know I need a fill for I don't have much of restruction at all. And for the oops from time to time, we are going to have them. Just watch how many you have. If someone, ask you to take a piece of cake, I would take it but not eat it in front of them. Take it somewhere else like your office, wrape it up and take it home for someone else. Of course this if you can.....Just keep your eyes on the prise.....You can do it. And I am saying this for myself as well.

My eyes are on the prize, that's for sure. It's been grand so far! I'll include a link to a picture of me wearing a historical costume for a Scottish Festival this past weekend. We had to alter the costume twice, and it still ended up too big! I kept losing weight. LOL! Re-sewing those darn pearls down was a nightmare.

I was good at the Festival, though. Despite a terrible longing, I avoided the Sally Lunn cakes, scones, and other Scottish treats in favor of 1/2 of a Scottish Egg. (sigh)
