I passed up the carby foods at the all you can eat catfish buffet last night - go me! I had a steak instead and a small bowl of pinto beans. My weight is starting to drop at amazing rates again. People are really starting to notice that I am losing now. Oh yesterday my work gave everyone $75 Visa gift cards for breaking the safety record - 265 days of no accidents. Well I planned to buy clothes with it...... but I went to the indian casino with my grandma & family last night and lost $40!!! Makes me sick! Oh and my grandma did rob the buffet last night. I was so embarassed when before we left she started wrapping up fish and frog legs in a napkin and stuffing them in her purse lol!!! My step mom said when they went to a second hand store the other day she took off her shirt in the middle of the store and was trying on shirts!!! She was going to do it with some pants and the clerk told her she had to go to the changing room. LOL!!! Glad I wasn't there. She is so funny! No, it's not dimentia or altzheimers (spelling?) She has always been very outspoken and tacky her whole life. I love her though - she has given us a ton of good laughs over the years. She just turned 86 and is very active. I am proud of her.

Amanda, you did fantastic!!! AND you had steak!! Did you feel deprived? Are you sorry that you didn't eat the catfish? Or do you feel like you are finally incontrol of your reaing in stead of it being in control of you? I am so proud of you, you are really rockin' it, girl!! Glad you had a great time and that you got to enjoy your time with your grandma. My maternal grandmother died when I was 18, my paternal one when I was 5, so I have been without for a lot of years. And I see that the weight is really coming off again. Congrats!! Hope that mine starts up again soon!!

Maybe just a little? I mean I would love to be able to eat all of those things but I didnt' feel all that deprived. I don't think the catfish was quite as tempting for me because it looked a little too well done and I didn't hear alot of ooohhs and aaaahhs over it from everyone else. Home cooked fresh caught catfish would have been much more of a temptation. It would have been great if they had offered some broccoli or green beans. I can't say that I didn't want the peach cobbler - it looked delish! I know once I reach my goal I will have something I really want every now and then. I just have to learn to have some control and have things like that in moderation and not revert back to my old ways. I mean the beans last night were a little higher in carbs than I would have liked and aren't reccomended until later in OWL, but they were good, I didnt gorge myself on them and I am not out of control and craving donuts and soda after eating them so I know I am getting stronger and stronger every day and I will only learn which foods trigger cravings and weigh gain unless I try them, that is what OWL is all about learning which carbs you can and cannot tolerate.

Precisely, AManda. And I know how you feel about feeling a little deprived. I feel tht way from time to time, like last night when the kids were all eating pizza, and I was having baked cornish game hens a salad. But, more importantly, I felt good that I was able to reist that heavenly smell of pizza crust eminating from that round bit of temptation!! I wish I could say that I was comfortable in being able to occasionally indulge in those foods, but alas, I know my body much too well, and that would ead to an all out binge, that I probably wouldn't be able to control. Congrats on your self control, and on the loss!

Thanks!!! I am actually 241 (1/2 a pound lighter than I recorded) but I gave myself some wiggle room in case the beans cause some weight whiplash! LOL!

congrats Amanda, well done! had a similar struggle last weekend but i ended up making the other choice and taking a day off and ate some things i otherwise wouldn't. it was an interesting experience because for me it was completely a conscious decision - i could have made other choices, i didn't NEED those foods, i wanted them. but, it was controlled, definitely not a binge - just a few small things. and for the record, most of it didn't taste as good as i thought it would have. and for me, such a good experience to have that day and then get right back on plan. i feel lucky that it didn't trigger any cravings and going back to induction was easier than i had expected. you're certainly right in that it's a journey for each of us to learn our own triggers and what works for our bodies! congrats again!!!
