My first entry engaged! Exciting. Wow. I have come a long way. I passed last week. I just missed the deadline to enter my progress. All in all, I really understand the chemistry of my body. I loved our meal at Michael in Winnetka. I could taste every flavor. I chose not to ruin the buds with champagne. But eyeballing portions when the food is so delicious or too small to pack is still a struggle. A recognition which is an accomplishment in itself but a work in progress. Sharing dessert was a great decision. It is the few bites that count, not the calorie bomb that makes me nervous at day's end. And boy does it feel good to have a flat belly and appetite the next day! Work in progress to remember that towards meal end. I will attempt this VERY conscious feat tonite at dinner with Aisha. That counts as my WIN. Also I would love to enjoy Greektown with Tom tomorrow with appetite. There is also a chemical reaction -there HAS to be- that makes me want to end a meal ultimately satisfied. It is typically sugar related! And it has to be novel...what I realize mid-week my body "craves." Trying to lose the gum habit too. Doing well. Keep going..... |

| yay...i passed this weeek. it was a rough start to the week after aisha's wedding, and mid week i was going physically stir crazy. i ended up eating a bunch of nuts wthich quelled my appetite for the galderma ditka's LAB meeting. i created room for dessert both thurs and fri night after dinner w linda/jill at butterfly. i was normal at the halloween party. ehjoyed pigs/blanket without feeling deprived. the buns/hoisin sauce without the buns, and lastly the RIP desserts. very enjoyable. didn't feel deprived. then had dinner at mia francesca's. enjoyed the chicken/bread/potatoes. and bite of dessert...and gum. i feel good now. i have to clearly remind myself feeling tweaked the next day sucks. tomorrow tastes better. gosh, I LOVE being able to enjoy food the next day. that Has to be better and enuff motivation to stop grazing. perhaps it is truly chemical, but i need a good 2 hours of eating and noshing to feel sated. still trying to understand that, but in the meantime, i must accept gum's role. | |

| Yes, I did good this week. Partly because we went out just yesterday to Drake's International Club. That was soooo delightful! It seems that I am the only one who really enjoyed the meal. The scallops/bacon/corn was absolutely delightful. I "behaved" all the way through. Shared the apple dessert with Barb, but then started grazing on the cookies. Yes, they were there, and it is so Final to finalize a meal. Not hard. Just the thought of trying to get used to the end...still. But I MUST make an effort to remember which is amazing in itself. Tomorrow Tastes Better. And not just better, TRUE. Tomorow tastes true. I love having breakfast appetite. I enjoyed every bite and left the OK bites behind. So proud. Tonight is a good nite, hence I filled this out in advance. | |
