Breakfast
For me, the most important meal when trying to get back
to losing weight is breakfast. Breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day.
Even though there are some "experts" that advise making breakfast your biggest
meal of the day, they obviously are
not people with a "fat" brain. Sure, I can see the logic of
having a large meal in the morning, and a small snack for dinner. You have all
day to burn off the calories. But, unfortunately, that is not how we fat people
roll. Eat a big breakfast and that means you've "ruined" it for the rest of the
day. You might as well eat everything in sight and start again tomorrow. For
me, if I eat a healthy low calorie breakfast, I am much more inclined to eat a
healthier lunch. Then, if I am 2 for 2,
dinner can go either way. If I am prepared, dinner usually turns out to be
a success also.

Emotional Eating
1) I am an "emotional eater".
2) I am very emotional.
Basically what this translates to is……… I have
fallen off of the wagon. (Rolled off, if
you will.) I let good times, bad times
and any time interfere with my weight loss goals.
When celebrating happy events, it’s hard not
to combine the celebration with food and drink. During sad or stressful times,
I mindlessly eat. I use the excuse that
I deserve some bit of happiness. Often,
during those times, I just don’t care anymore. This is not to say that being thin is an impossible
task for me. It’s just taking longer than I had hoped. I need to recommit. I will get my weight loss
books out again and move forward. By the way, my dear husband made this delicious spaghetti for me. How could I hurt his feelings and not eat it?

Happy New Year!
Hopefully this year is the year my finances improve, my
children all find "their way", I learn to be a better friend, and I
lose my weight for good. If all that happens, I promise to have a much more
exciting celebration report for New Year's Eve, 2013. As for New Year's Eve, 2012, well, let's just say I did
wake up at 11:56 to watch the ball drop again on CNN. Tony and I sat on the couch under our beloved blankets
and spent the evening much like most other nights. I mentally prepared for a
higher calorie dinner, but am proud to say that by staying home, I was able to
make up for the overeating from the night before. I made a Greek egg lemon
meatball soup. It was something a little more labor intensive than my usual
weeknight dinner, (I had to roll the meatballs), but there was no frying
involved, (they simmer in chicken broth). I was satisfied that it was light
enough for Patti's plate, but special enough for Tony's tummy. Happy, healthy, New Year to all.
