Went to Orlando today, not for overnight, just for a meeting and then back home. I brought snacks with me (Chocolite bar and smoked almonds) to hold me over because I figured I wouldn’t have time to eat lunch until I was on the way home. So at about 2:30 pm I stopped at Golden Corral and paid eleven bucks for their buffet lunch.
The plus side would be that there were many low/no carb choices so I had no trouble finding something to eat that would be on plan. The minus side was that I had to wade through so many temptations. I didn’t give in to any of them, but they were there. Looking good. Too good.
Woke up to a gain this morning. *Sigh* I wanted to be under 247 and stay there. Eh, normal fluctuations.
On the way home from Orlando I stopped to visit my sister (and my nephew and my niece, who both live with her). I haven’t seen them since July. I totally expected that they would say something about my weight loss, that they would immediately notice the difference. None of them said a word. It sucks that I have so much weight to lose, that I can lose almost 40 lbs. and it’s such a drop in the bucket that it’s not noticeable. Then again, my friends and co-workers say all the time, that they can tell I’ve lost weight.
Oh well. Maybe after another 38 lbs., it’ll be more noticeable.

Wow, You travel quite a bit. That is fun and exciting but must be hard at times as well. I give you a lot of credit for doing so well on the road with working out and eating on plan. Good job! I LOVE Golden Corral waaaaay too much! LOL
Take care

I have had two of my best days ever. Low cal, more exercise than usual. And, so far, no reward on the scale. In fact, I weighed twice and one was the same weight it has been and once it was .2 more. I wish that our punishments and rewards came instantly so that it wouldn’t get so discouraging and confusing!
You will get to a point where the flood of attention/compliments will come. And it is so fun when it does! It is worth the wait.
I agree about the comments. I hit -80 pounds before people really started saying stuff. My best friend immediately noticed (as in, after 10 or 20 pounds) but that’s her. LOL My family just recently started saying things and I’ve been at this for over a year. Don’t worry. They’ll notice. Or maybe they already do but are keeping it to themselves for some reason or another. YOU know how far you’ve come. That’s all that matters. =D
Yeah, YOU know how well you are doing, and that’s all that counts…….any chance there’s some jealousy involved for whatever reason?
I’m an occ. fan of G.C. too but I agree—way too many temptions.
