Hi everyone!

-3 lbs this week! Thanksgiving was wonderful. I had a great time hanging out with my family and just doing nothing. I ate everything that I wanted.... just in smaller portions. I had turkey, corn bread.... even cake and pie! I made the decision that morning that I wasn't going to restrict myself from anything that I wanted. I allowed myself this one day to eat whatever I wanted and it was wonderful. I didn't gorge out like I would have in years past. I was satisfied with everything that I put in my mouth and I didn't feel guily at all. Next day, I was back on track with eating the right foods again. It was absolutely amazing for me.

I get my second fill next week Wednesday. I had debated, and discussed with many of you, the possibility of not getting a fill again until after we get back from Disney. After much consideration, I feel that I need to move ahead and do it now before we go. What I was concerned about was not having enough healthy food options available to me when I get down there and then being miserable and hungry all of the time. What I think that I am going to do is send a package to the hotel before we get there with some non-perishable food items that I know I will be able to snack on while I am there. For one, it will be cheaper than buying the same items when we get down there and two, I can include some protein powder which will at least assure me that I am getting the minimum amounts of calories and protein that I need every day. I lived on protein shakes for almost a month and survived... what's another week!!

I hope that everyone has a great week and I will be updating again next Wednesday after I get that fill !!
