We learn, as we grow…
Yesterday I was invited to a HUGE babyshower, for someone who had tried, and tried, and tried and finally she is having a baby!!!
From all I’ve learned on BB.com and here on Bodyspace - reading other blogs etc. - I knew that I would be tempted to eat bad, but since my trainwreck of a Friday, I could not afford to… - so I ate a healthy meal before leaving home… - and by the time the food was served, I didn’t even LOOK at the fried chicken.. I had 2 small pieces of potatoe, some beef and LOTS and LOTS of salad (with spritzer dressing).. I had my cake packed up in aluminum foil, to take home to hubby and the kids.. and I ate a super-smalll piece myself. Then when I got home, I opted to have my steak with only veggies, no couscous!!!
I know that I’m not 100% clean yet, but I’m learning to make better choices.. the Fruit Parfait at McDonalds instead of the Cheeseburger.. the salad over the fries… one step at a time.
And the Coup was when I got up, tired as I was, and I cooked my chicken for this week!!!! I am so infinitly grateful to EVERYONE here who has shared their journey with us, the struggles as well as the triumps becuase it’s due to all of you that I had a good weekend and I’m closer to my goals today!

Now this is what I call motivation. You know what it means when keeping yourself accountable. I was even impressed you wrapped up the cake to bring to hubby and kids. Love you for that. As for your succeding blog, "coming out of your fat clothes," how you put it, I’m not a shrink but there seems to be a drawing concern from your husband about that, from what I gather. I wouldn’t assume that it is an insecurity reason, yet. But share with him that, "I want you to show off your gal," because it’s yours, all yours, and no one else can have you!
