The other wonderful thing that happened was my daughter's neighbor who hadn't seen me in a couple of years said I looked skinny and I must have lost a lot of weight! Yay!! No one has ever ever used the word skinny referring to me in the same sentence. She told me I looked great. Not that I am, will, or ever plan to be skinny. I don't think the word skinny means healthy but it was nice of her to sound so sincere. I laughed and said I have a lot more to go and thanked her. Afterthought was I wished I had talked to her before I ate those D@#@ peanut butter crackers!!

When I have a big day, I make the next day a lower day. I had that problem yesterday. I wasn't feeling the egg dinner I had planned, so I switched yesterday's and today's dinners. I don't usually have pb and j sandwiches so yesterday was a bit big.

Thanks msbuggirl! Yes, that is what I do too. If I know I'm going to be eating somewhere else, I cut back before and then after. Today is a low, low day :) I really thought my daughter would have had a salad. She is usually good about them. I do love nuts and nut butters. I usually don't have crackers. Too, too many carbs in one day!

Kathy--don't be hard on yourself. I know I love spahetti--and my hubby's pasta meals! LOL. You have to live, too! Have a cheat day here or there and then get back to your "good" routine on the other days. The way I look at it is you are doing better than you were.

Awe guilt is useless ! You had a beautiful day and love was everywhere!

Thank you Draglist, Deb, Jillzee00, and HCB!! It was a wonderful day. Being around my family is the best thing in the world to me. I never complain about the food choices at family gatherings, though I might share on FS. I don't want to me the one that nobody wants to come because of being too picky :)

Kattay, you are right that we can't be picky about the food provided or people will stop wanting us to come over. I made a deal with myself to eat HEALTHY at home so that when I am invited to someone else's home or a restaurant, I can have s splurge and really ENJOY it. :)

Spaghetti vs. keeping up with a 2 year old...I'm afraid the spaghetti isn't going to work. You'll need way more energy! LOL I hope you counted all that play as exercise because you know its a fun way to move it, move it! :)

Its good that you got a lot of action, I trust you burned good cals. Don’t feel guilty over a dinner cause I think you got even. You burnt as much as you ate. In my opinion, you need to revise your goals and stick to your rules. In my case, I believe logging my activities helps me a lot to keep myself on the track.try it

Thanks izenfx! Yes, I do log my activities. I put the hide and seek stuff under walking. FS has just a few designations we can pick from, but it works :)

Sounds like you had an awesome day. I am sure you were wiped out by the end of the day. I wouldn't worry about the spaghetti. I am sure you had burned up more than enough calories through out the day to make up for it.

Thank you kellynn330. Yes, I think I did burn that spaghetti up. Or I hope so anyway. I'm at the point where weight goes off so slowly now that it can be so frustrating.

Kattay, you are so awesome & inspiring to me & others! Don't worry about one little day, you are sooo CLOSE to your long-awaited FOREVER GOAL! How much better do you feel now than when you started your journey? How much more energy do you have, & how much more can you do than before? Who cares if it's slow going now, at least IT IS GOING! I hope that thinking about these things will encourage you to keep up with your life long better eating habits. Then that few more lbs WILL come off, & STAY OFF. Best Wishes & Skinny Hugs, GLAMMER
