I went bathing suit shopping. Tried a couple on. Didn’t buy one though. Not because I looked bad - I know I did but because the one I have is fine and I know that next month, I will be smaller. I looked at clothes and did not get depressed. I got excited. Why,would I at 230 lbs be excited at looking at clothes? Because I looked at the ones I will be able to wear. I did buy some makeup. Lancome is having gift with purchase and the store was having a NO TAX day. Doesn’t get much better than that. So, I tried on bathing suits, looked at clothes, and did not get depressed. I got excited. I also parked as far away as I could from the store so that I would have to WALK to my car. And walk I did in 103 degree weather. I was hungry when I left. I am trying to eat only when my body cues me to (and what a novel concept that is for me). I went by McD’s and got a HUGO iced tea with Splenda (no calories) and a salsa grilled chicken snack wrap (250 calories) and it was perfect.
I am excited with what the future holds. I have Jell-O in the fridge in case I have a need to eat something sweet and I have 100 calorie popcorn bags on stand by too.
Thanks for your support.

Hi Bobbie -
I’m glad you went shopping for swimsuits and didn’t get despressed. I never really understood why some people think swimsuit shopping is a bad thing! It’s all about attitude and thoughts you have about yourself that determine whether you see it as a good thing or a bad thing
Again thanks for posting to my blog - I did a lot of thinking today while lifting my weights and I do think you are right -I will continue going to my meetings until I make lifetime. I need the meetings to ensure I can keep this weight off!
Keep up the walking and the positive attitude, Bobbie and I know you will get were you want to be

OMG, swimsuit shopping and you did not have a heart attack! The thought gives me palpations
Good for you.
I read somewhere that we “fat” girls often mistake hunger for thirst. So we eat when in reality we need water. Interesting!

Hi Bobbie!
Thanks for leaving an encouraging message from my blog…we have lots in common, close to the same age, need to lose the same amount of weight and some of the same childhood background.
Great job on ordering the ice tea at MickyD’s…with 4 little ones, and the cheap dollar menu, we stop there waayy to often!
Blessings…Jolaha
