Days 18 and 19. Somebody check the thermostat!

Yesterday and today's weight: 212.8
It was actually the same both days so I don't feel so bad that I missed out on posting yesterday.   We just got home way too late and I was sleepy.

Let me recap Thursday:
Yet another AWESOME day on managing my diet.  I stuck to my plan all day and then we went to a charity dinner.  I did really well there too.  I got small portions food and got to have a piece of chocolate cake for dessert.  Then we stopped by to see some friends.  She offered me ice cream.  Triple chocolate ice cream.  But with a little (okay, a lot) of encouragement from my husband, I turned it down.

Me.  I turned down ice cream

"Hello, Devil? This is Meredith.  Is it getting cold there yet?"

I did not exercise or workout because I couldn't fit into the day since we were going out.

Friday (today):  Not so good.  I woke up in a funk.  That should've put me on my guard.  When I get tired, stressed, or emotional I want to eat.  I ate a sub for lunch (about 6-8 inches) and then had a single serving container of ice cream, which was about 250 calories.  I don't think it was so horrible calorie wise but it was horrible nutritionally.  For dinner we had BLT pizza.  But I only had one slice! 

My normal mode of operation when I have eaten too much early in the day is to say, "Screw it!" and pig out at dinner.  I decided I was NOT going to do that today.  I had a single slice of pizza which I really shared with my son, he had about 4 bites (baby bites) of it and he ate the crust.

I feel like some progress has been made.  I am gaining control of this, or as my husband says, "Slaying the lion".  There is a great Bible lesson in that statement that I may share later.
