Dieting with a cold is miserable

Oddly, although misearble, I realized today that it made no difference if I ate according to my diet while sick. I should just stick to it, because even though my brain thinks it wants cookies and white bread, really, I can't taste it anyway, so why would I waste a perfectly good cookie on useless tastebuds. My emotional link to food continues. I doubt it will ever be broken completely. I wonder if it can be.
Otherwise, my other challenge is eating out, finding something with my limited eating array to fit.

anouther kilo lost last week, and Jaime asked how much wheat I was eating. She is expecting me to loose weight faster. I am comfortable with my progress. It has to be realistic, I don't have the budget for a whole new wardrobe all at once!

One somewhat flattering photo at 108 kilos and one not so much. Just trying to keep it real!

A nice Saying to remember

A friends sent me this as a type of chain letter, which I did not send back, no surprise there, but I liked the saying. Unfotunately it does not say who it is from.

'May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are.. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us...

Christmas?

I have learnt a few things. What my brother in law said was true. It is not what you eat between Christmas and New YEar that matters, it is what you eat between New Year and Christmas. I gave in over the holidays, and have decided I will give in over the holidays for the rest of my life. BUT, I also have decided that during that time, kicking up the fitness level is non-negotiable.
I weighed in today at 109.3 kilos. Which is great, I feel really great about that. Maybe I only lost 400 grams over three weeks of Christmas madness, but getting back on track was OK. Having said that, I was STARVING last week, not really sure why.
