It was a challenging eating weekend ~ our whole family got together to do a yard sale. After the first long day, we headed out to eat at our favorite Chinese restaurant, the first time I’ve been been there since getting serious about losing weight. I looked over my WW book and planned out ahead of time what I would ~ and wouldn’t~ eat. And then stuck to it once I was there. Funny thing was, I didn’t even really miss a couple old favorites (crab rangoon) that I normally love. I just didn’t feel that they were worth the points. 
The hot and sour soup was delicious, as was the chicken & broccoli and chinese veggies.
Saturday brought a trigger food challenge. My sister brought out a basket of Little Debbie brownies and oatmeal creme pies, the two foods eaten most as emotional eating binges last year after we moved. I’m probably still carrying around a few boxes on my thighs! Seriously, these foods have been major binge triggers that I simply haven’t been able to eat in moderation. But yesterday I had 1 oatmeal creme pie for 4 points…….that was it. No brownies, no second pies…….and you know what? It wasn’t even that good.
Thank you, Lord, for the strength to make it through the challenges that arise!
Woo Hoo Lorri!! That’s fan-double-tastic!!
