Okay, It is almost 3:30 p.m. now. I did really good today...kind of ate South Beachy. Tuna...cheese...etc.
Even sat at McDonalds with my sister for lunch and just had water.
But now my sisters have asked me to go for a fish fry tonight. Fear has set in...how will I get through that and still stay on track?
I will set some ground rules...no seconds...water with the meal...eat slowly... and enjoy the company.
Did not get to the YMCA today...too cold to move.
After the Fish Fry ...off to Starbucks to meet two of my daughters. I will have water again... and no desserts today.
No, I am not being a martyr...I did have a venti today and for breakfast a bottle of lite starbucks with my whole grain bagel.
FYI everyone...all my Starbucks drinks for a day have skim milk and sugar free syrup...but with whip.
On stressed days I have the venti...and normal days I have a grande.
But, since we just got back from NYC where we were stopping in at least two Starbucks a day...I am still weaning myself off of all that pure bliss.

The Big Change - Day 2
I did okay yesterday...if I do not count the impromtu "Grey's Anatomy" Party I attended.
I had a small container of tuna salad, three quarters of a large bag of wavy chips and a small container of dill dip.
Do I have to mention the fact that the party was at my house and I was the only one attending...
But the Diet Angels are watching over me...they couldn't stop me...but I only gained a quarter of a pound. Since I am using a doctor's scale, it allows me to show increments of a pound.
This allows me stay calm because it doesn't just run straight to the next pound.
So I guess I did not really gain any weight. Still 179 lbs,
I am continuing to take my Mangosteen drink. I swear it has stopped all cravings...I am sure it has regulated my blood sugar allowing me to make calm, informed choices.
I know today is going to be great!!!

The Big Change
Okay... This is it... I have had enough....
...Of going clothes shopping with the kids... and having to sit on a chair waiting until they are done because nothing is going to fit me.
I have had enough...of wearing the same outfit all the time because my choices are limited.
Of making excuses why I can't get to the gym.
Of waiting till tomorrow when I will try to remedy this situation.
Of constantly thinking about my next meal...when I had just finished the last one.
Of assuring myself that the person staring back at me in the mirror is not me.
Perhaps Oprah making a public statement regarding her weight struggle has influenced my decision to come out of the refrigerator.
I have decided to post my weight and publicly shock myself into a "no turning back decision".
Okay, here it is...I can't believe I am typing this. I am 179 lbs. I am going to record how I am coping daily and make every day... a day closer to my goal of 50 lbs.
Actually I started today...I have installed a cool application on my beloved blackberry curve which I can use to record calorie intake. I set the app for 1400 calories and as of this moment I am at 118% of my daily quota.
