Lovely - arrow still going in the right direction. I find that if I think a little beyond the moment, I do better than when I don't. This cheeseburger might be what I want right now, but in 20 minutes, this grilled chicken salad will make me exactly as full as the burger...and I can stay on track if I eat that. As I lose the weight, too, walking is easier than it was 28 pounds ago. I carried a 14 kg bag of dog food out of the grocery store the other day and reflected that the weight I was balancing on my shoulder used to be on ME. All the time. And it's not easy to cart that kind of weight very far. When I put the dog food in the car, I took a moment to apologize to my knees for doing that to them all this time ;-) People look at me strangely when I have conversations with my joints, but what-ev. Have a beautiful week, all - keep sight of your goals, and thanks for the community that enables me to have this outlet to crow about small victories (or lament setbacks) to gentle ears and understanding minds! <3
