I will overcome!
« on: February 07, 2011, 10:58:28 AM »
Okay, so I had my lunch all packed up this morning and walked right out the door without it, but not a problem.  I bought two hard-boiled eggs at the "little store" (that's what I call the convenience store in our building) and I do have some sausage in the refrigerator at work, so I'm good for breakfast.  I'll buy a can of tuna (and we have some packets of mayo at work), and I'll just get some lettuce and I'll be good to go - the only thing missing that would make my lunch complete would be the pickle and pork rinds on the side.

But I'm rarin' to go and am feeling confident, excited, and ready to lose!  I will NOT be a slave to the scales, however, and will make sure I weigh once a week at the most.  In the past, that has been one of my downfalls, but not this time.  T-minus 4 weeks and two days until my trip to Texas to see the grandson!

Here's to the beginning of a new and exciting journey!
Gail in WA (the state)

You did exactly the right thing. There is always food available that is FTS friendly if you look around. Now that you can "see" the hidden sugar in your foods choices are easy to make. Keep up the pace  8)
