I haven't given up on losing weight, but I just am so rushed right now that I am not taking time to shop for the right foods, pack the right kinds of lunches, count my calories and such like.
I was still cutting back on portions but I transgressed big time two weekends ago by fixing spaghetti (which I love) for my Sunday company. I always fix enough for there to be plenty, but if plenty is not eaten it's left for me to have all week. Since I love it, that's not a punishment, but it's not good for weight control.
Then the next weekend Jef and Jeni popped in after church on Sunday night with some homemade salsa, chips and some cookie dough. I chowed down on the delicious salsa and "hundreds" of chips and finished off with one (YES, I DID SAY, ONE) cookie.
I've eaten at Five Guys more than I've needed to. They are so handy when I'm rushed and don't take a lunch. I've even indulged in their fries once.
But after this wedding is over, I'm going into this for "the long haul", meaning I'm not planning so much to "go on" a diet as to change my eating habits so that MOST DAYS of the week I'm cutting back my portions, eating "healthy" lunches and snacks, and beginning a weekly exercise routine.
