Finally, it came off. Now I feel I might be on a roll again. I feel bad because I can make my husband miserable with not wanting to eat out, (not that he eats much or minds saving money), but just to go out, and not wanting to go on another vacation so soon. I told him I was not losing weight despite trying and needed to know exactly what was going in my mouth. Well, now that I got the weight off, I won't make him miserable when we go to Florida to visit Family in early March. My husband does not know what it is like to always have to watch what you put in your mouth. The fact that I am a post- menopausal hypothyroid woman who struggled to lose (or maintain a reasonable weight) throughout her early years and continued the struggle well into my 50's, 60's and now the beginning of my 70's, does not register with him. His entire family never had a weight problem. I remember his elderly sister visiting us one summer and eating twice what I ate. She would say she did not understand why I had a weight problem since she watched what I ate. Well, that's life. That is my genetic makeup. So, I am trying to work on my mindset. I can't go through the rest of my life avoiding vacations and eating out for fear of gaining weight. I just have to be reasonable about it. So, I am in for the long run and accepting small weight losses. On a plus side, I saw a picture of me with my almost 16 yr old granddaughter when she was 3. I was much bigger than I was when I started this round of dieting.
