Today I feel encouraged. For two reasons I think. First is that I'm having pie pizzaria stuffed cheesy bread for lunch. For anyone who has not had cheesy bread from the Pie, I am sorry to say you've been living a drab and meaningless existence. Seriously, though--after nearly a year of blogging, I've come to the obvious conclusion that I'm a headonist. I like the good things in life--good food, good books, good friends, good times. When I put good food into my day like the cheesy bread, then I am much happier with my diet. This is such a "DUH" kind of a notion that I sometimes forget to do it! Opting instead, for something that's quick and on track but also not what I'm in the mood for. This cheesy bread is pretty much on track, I'm having it with a big cabbage salad and some oranges for lunch. For dinner I've made a ww chili that's really tasty, but also very low point that will help offset the cheesy bread and keep me well within points.
The other reason I'm encouraged is that this blog has shown me just how much I really eat and that I really can eat a LOT of the things I like and not always in moderation either and still lose weight!! This morning I was at 186--22 pounds down since April Fools--42 from my all time high. I'm proud of that. It's been super slow but that's ok because by and large I'm still living the food life I enjoy. If I can lose 20 lbs again this year I'll be at 166 by this time next year---gasp!!! And if it's only 10 then that's ok too--I like the look of that number as well. Anyway--starting out this New Year I'm happy because I know I'll be taking pitstops along the way. I still owe myself a lunch at the cheesecake factory for starters. This feels good--I'm literally eating my cake and still losing weight.
