Day 5, Round #2 VLCD
Hi People!
My weight this morning was 169.0 !!!!! I'm in the 160's!! Went to the movies this afternoon with my daughter. She was so sweet, she only drank water with me because that's all I could eat in that "house of food sin"! So we both sat there sucking on our water bottles and enjoyed the movie! She asked me why I deprive myself yummy stuff. Why not just be "fat and happy". Obviously she has never been on a diet, miss perfect size 4. I told her I would rather "deprive" myself and later be thinner and healthier, than eat the junk and be fat, unhealthy and unhappy. She is one thing I did right in my life. I raised her on steamed vegetables, boneless-skinless chicken breasts and lots of water. Now she won't even eat gravy or fattening stuff if it's offered. She just naturally prefers what she was raised on. I guess you can tell I've been dieting most of my adult life, that's why she was raised on steamed vegetables and chicken. Where as I was raised on fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and blackberry cobbler! Well, at least one of us is thin. But soon enough, there will be another thin person in this family.....me!!! Hope you all have a great Memorial Day weekend and stay strong if you're going to a cookout! I'll be "safe from my inner demons" this weekend, we're just hanging around the house and doing nothing special. L8R!

Rose,
Congrats on the new decade, Girl! You're doing great! And congrats on instilling good dietary habits in your daughter - I'm another one that grew up on good old southern country cooking, so can appreciate what you've been dealing with. Way to go!
