Last month I had a goal to pass the 160 mark. I focused on it and I achieved it. I celebrated my success with personal pats on the back. People were noticing my weight loss.  Clothes fit better and I was able to wear things I hadn't worn in years. Yeah me!  Then reality set in.  I have not been as good this month.  I haven't used Vitabot as faithfully as I had before and I feel yucky.  Hot weather has enticed me with ice cream, one small cone won't hurt but the 4th one will and the ice cream shops I am choosing with cream and super-wonderful add-ins will do me in if I keep indulging.  Party after party this month, have to get control.

 

Ten days to weigh-in and a wedding on the horizon.  What will I commit to?  Okay! Wedding on Saturday One drink or one glass of wine then  a beverage I really like, club soda with a twist.  Food,look at portions and decide how much will be enough and when I am finished turn the fork over to signal I am done. (An old trick from Miss Manners, A turned fork used to be a signal in fine restaurants for the waiter to remove the plate because the diner is done.)  No dessert or cake. (Put my tea cup in the center of my place so a quick server can't slip one in when I am not looking.) Next, the week!  I will enter all my food in Vitabot. I will exercise.  I will brush up on my habits.  I feel so much better than anything can taste.
