Petals diary

Thanks everyone for the support . Rob I have not heard that song in years . I found a mrs brown mammy clip but it was a little rude so I didn’t know if I should link or not !! All mentally set for weekend at least
 
Have a great weekend! When we have family get-togethers we always go for a decent walk in between. Much nicer than sitting inside all day.
 
Hoping the guests behave! :D
(Did you buy the nasty candy, as per LaMa's clever advice? What night will the children come calling?)

Emily, it is pretty old. I do not normally approve of black face, but if you read about Al Jolson he was one of the strongest supporters of civil rights in his time. He openly socialized and worked with blacks in a time when almost no white people did (in the US). He knew he was risking his career. A different time and one that's best being long over. Still a very memorable song.

Petal, hope your weekend is going well.
 
So far so good. Yesterday was a bit hectic mainly due to me getting caught in loads of traffic as it was Friday and the rain was horrendous. I stuck to plan and ate pasta out last night which was good. I would have liked some salad with it but strangely they had none. I did indulge in 1 scoop of ice cream also but that was it.

Amy I won't buy treats until Thursday as that is when the kids will call.
 
Thanks Jack . Lama it’s hard to stick to plan at times . Guests have left after a lunch of soup and toasties . Breakfast was fruit and eggs . Everyone was full really from last night .
I had hake and veg but did have some wine and dessert but feel I’m back in the swing of it today .
I find I’m a bit anxious in myself that I worry I might go up in weight again but I think the fact I am thinking about it is probably a good sign that I’m focused pretty well .
 
No use being anxious (easier said than done, I know), getting right back to your plan is the only thing you can do whether you've gained weight or not. Still: I don't expect you have.
 
I think eating something off your plan consciously and mindfully & then getting straight back on plan will be fine. You have this Petal. You are well & truly focussed xo
 
I think you're doing brilliantly - how you handled the night out sounds exactly text-book method. (Shame on the venue, for no salad!) A single scoop of ice-cream is good - restrained, but also having that meant you didn't end the night feeling deprived - and that's important. Congratulations - and I think this week might be the one that sees you into the 170s! :)

Hey, you should know better than that by now (though I agree with LaMa, easier said than done). You ate fine this weekend, maybe more than without the company, but just fine. You will have no permanent weight gain. And once back to your usual eating you will continue losing.

I'll bet you are a great hostess.
 
Thanks for all the comments no time to reply to all. Yep back on plan and now focus . This day 8 weeks is Christmas week so full steam ahead.
 
Glad to hear it. Christmas is always a nice goal!
