Call me Crazy?!

     So had a pretty busy weekend!  On Friday night our precious little granddaughter spent the night!  Love her so much!  Then on Saturday we spent most of the day and evening at a Christian Festival it was nice!  We heard bands playing and they had free food and lots of stuff for the kids!  We stood in line for an hour to get free hot dogs.  I took 2 but gave one away!  I think I did good!  I'm trying to learn how to read my body and listen to it for a change and stop eating when I'm full!  Later that night we went to my sister in laws and ate some homemade fried chicken!  YUMMY! I ate a few pieces of potatoes and corn on the cob.  Later she made some new microwave carmel popcorn and she plops a bowl in my lap!  The old me would have eating all of it.  I had a few handfuls and put it down.  She asked me if I didn't like it?  I told her it was good and that I'm really trying not to snack after dinner.  I did also eat 1 little bite size and I do mean bite size butterfinger! But that's all!

Sunday got up early went to church!  I love my church!  Went home worked out took a nap then made stuffed cabbage!  Yummy! 

So, here it is Tuesday I weighed my self this A.M. 3.2lbs more then Friday???????  The old me would have said what the heck?  I might as well eat as much as I want it's not doing any good anyways?  But then the new little voice said that would be really dumb!!  So I didn't listen to the old me!  HAHAHA!  I'm sounding a little crazy right now!  But that's not the crazy thing I'm talking about last week I stumbled upon a website the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans!  Well they are having a Shrinkvivor Challenge and I was kinda nervous about it but I signed up!  I've never done any thing like this before and I'm kinda scared!  I guess I don't fully trust myself yet?  So last night I was sitting on the couch watching TV & the old me said well since you are going to have to start being accountable for how much you lose you could pig out right now one last binge before you start the challenge!  Right? Why not?  Then I realized that was the old way of thinking I have to change that kind of attitude if I ever want to change my life?!  So I didn't eat anything!  YAY! 
     The Challenge starts tomorrow!

Wish me luck!

  1. Good start, Bernice. I'm sure that 3.2# will be a different number on Friday. Are you drinking plenty of water? Learning to say no is hard but you've been practicing and it will get easier. I saw your sidebar and was intrigued so I went to the site but DARN, I guess the contest is now closed. Hope you do well!
