Finally...the scale has rewarded me. I've eaten out a few times and managed to stay 100%. Skipped the chips at the Mexican restaurant and the rolls at my favorite steak house with the best rolls in the world!!! Today...the scale stepped up and gave me a pat on the back for not being defeated by the rolls!

Served at our annual Ol' Timer's (Retiree's) luncheon yesterday. Was so confident and comfortable in my jeans without fear of looking like a sausage! Sometimes the "older folks" can cut to the core without realizing it. None of us want to hear how thin we used to be...or how we've gotten so fat that they almost didn't recognize us. This year...nothing but kind words! It was a real pleasure!

Today is a good day! I feel like I can accomplish just about anything...even facing an Easter without candy! LOL!

158.5 lb Lost so far: 8.5 lb.    Still to go: 13.5 lb.    Diet followed 100%.
