LynnCS I had always thought the term "one day at a time", was to help the people who were struggling/suffering. Now I think it's also a warning to those of us that think we have something beat. Just getting a little complacent can lead us back to where we started and lose all that progress.
Fulenn Thanks. I've always said, if I could ONLY eat the foods I planned on eating at the beginning of any day I would be great. And that's what I'm doing now. Plus removing the snacking has been hugely helpful.

I forgot to weigh in last Monday. That's good because I'm not obsessing over weight, but I also can't avoid the scale because that helps me hold myself accountable.
This has been bugging me for a couple days. I know I eat fast and I do try to slow down. It's frustrating eating with the wife because she is so slooow. But she's slow at most things. Like getting out of the car, I'll be unbuckled, out and standing behind the car and then I'll hear her seat belt click. Anyways, back to the story. Saturday the wife, 2 sons and a girlfriend all were going to Ikea. We stopped at Macaroni Grill. Everybody had salad, the 4 of them shared a couple of appetizers. We all got our meals. I had penne pasta, broccolini, spinach, and mushrooms, with no oil. We all stopped eating about the same time, except I was the only one who ate all their pasta. The wife says this shows I still have a problem. Maybe so, but my point is I doubt I ate more calories than anyone else at the table, since I had no cheese or meat or oil. She says that doesn't matter I still ate more volume faster than anyone else. Maybe she is right, I don't know.
The wife is going forward with her Christmas baking. She even kept trying to get me to eat some of it, not directly asking me, just hinting at it. She made something new as a test, and couldn't get either of the kids that live at home to test it. She would drop hints that she wanted my opinion, but I just wouldn't take the bait.
Other than that the only thing bothering me is the Giant food brand frozen vegetables "Oriental Blend" Broccoli, Sugar snap peas, carrots and water chestnuts has been switched with "Asian Blend" Broccoli (mostly stems), shredded carrots, sugar snap peas, green beans, water chestnuts, red pepper and celery. I'm not happy....lol
Happy Monday
