So I'm back. All the houseguests are gone. I've taken the last of my summer excursions -- this one to friends in Iowa. So now I have no excuses. I have to get back on the routine. Tonight I am roasting carrots and sauteeing cabbage for my starch substitute. I've found that a big portion of roasted carrots and/or cabbage staves off the desire for potatoes or rice or even quinoa, and it brings my carb count down. Tonight I'm having both with a turkey burger. I also bought zucchini because my friend Stephanie has actually perfected the zucchini spirals to sub for spaghetti, so I'm going for zuchinni spirals with sauce and chicken Italian sausage for Saturday night dinner. I've promised myself not to weigh in until the end of September, because I will only be mad at myself if I have to confront the impact of my summer splurges. I don't think it could be too bad actually because my clothes still fit... In fact, I'm thinking about buying a pair of size 10 jeans so I have a pair that fits. But I can't imagine that I haven't crept back up toward 155 from all this partying, and I don't really want to face up to it. I'm a coward I guess. Hope everyone will forgive me for not being as attentive to the FS community this summer as I should have been. When I made all my travel plans, I didn't expect my family to come from France this year, and the last minute schedule changes diverted my attention. So hello again everyone -- hope all is well.

Welcome back, HM! I put on my 'skinny trousers' today, the ones that were snug the last time I wore them. They were SO baggy! I could grab at least 6 inches of fabric at the hips. Glad to see you're getting back on track. Roasted veggies are so satisfying!

Ha Ha "All this partying!" Remember when we were young and "partying" meant something completely different??? Now it is about food splurge!

Thanks Kes and Johanne. Johanne -- welcome back. Kes -- congrats on the pants. About 2 weeks ago, I got a dress at Loft in a size 10. It's slightly snug. My goal is for it to be roomy by Thanksgiving. I'm going to try to get along in my size 12 pants until the holiday sales. It's kind of financially challenging to have to buy new pants every season. I'm hoping if I really work at it, I can buy 8's by after Christmas and skip the 10s altogether, but that may not be possible. We'll see.

Too bad FS doesn't have a pants library or mail exchange program, with a clearinghouse for hygiene and privacy protection. There are NYDJ 10s (talk about vanity sizing) I haven't been able to bring myself to drop in a charity bin. -- "All this partying" for me now means: back to back naaaaapppppsss! -- I'm with you on delaying weighing. Happy healthful September!

T8U9 your humor will keep us all connected and entertained on this journey. What a great idea? A lending library for 'jeans'. I only have 2 pairs to put in circulation because I usually burn my bridges. Lol 😂. Welcome back HermionesMom. So sad you were gone but so glad for the reason? Company...hooray. From France no less. What a story. You've probably been hangin at Walmart? Well you're back and everyone and a few more are here. So welcome back. Best regards, Paula
