Out of the Shadows
I'm coming out of the shadows today because I deserve a pat on the back.
I've been low-carb since October 1, and have lost 8.5 pounds so far. Today was my first real test. The management of the building where I work held an ice cream social for all the tenants. Ice cream. Free. Delivered. I even had three co-workers stop by and offer to pick up a couple of scoops for me if I was too busy to break away and get it myself. I said no, continued to say no and stayed on my eating plan for the day. Yippee! LC 10/01/03 322/313.5/145 |

LC 10/01/03 322/313.5/145 {this is Lori Patting your back} that's great. remember this feeling of control and power you have next time you are presented with foods that you know are not good for you, esp. right now while you have just started out so strong. I work in a pediatric hospital and I am confronted with what I consider unhealthy crap all the time. but I just say no, bring my own treats, offer them to others if they are interested and participate in the feasting on my terms. keep up the good fight! -- Lori 220/147/135 LC since 1/17/03 Oct Challenge 150/145 http://community.webshots.com/user/lorismiller |

Pat on the back
Good for you! ... staying on plan is worth so much more than those few moments of pleasure of the ice cream imo. Keep up the good work.. 8.5lbs lost is a great start. ~Karen~ On Thu, 16 Oct 2003 18:50:14 -0400, "Meowzer" wrote: I'm coming out of the shadows today because I deserve a pat on the back.

My thanks to everyone who has offered their support and congratulations.
I've enjoyed reading through this newsgroup as the participants appear to be genuinly interested in sharing knowledge and supporting each other. I've posted on other groups where it felt as if there were people lurking; waiting for an error in grammar or a newbie question just so they could impress themselves with their own flaming replies.
