Since the season has changed I am eating more real food insted of as many salads and really low carb foods.What im eating isnt to much over what my regulasr summer eating habits were, im still eating lots of veggies,but like im eating hot oatmeal with splenda and just a tad of skim milk in it,to night I had gumbo for dinner..its not the gumbo its the rice I have to watch but its wild rice insted of white so I only use a couple od table spoons so I know im ok with that.The holliday havent been to bad cause I only cook for my son and me..what ever I cook is ok by him.I have some wild rice left so tomorrow I will do some stirfry,cooking it myself I can keep out lots of the high sodium.I gained a pound or two but this morning I weighed and was back to 248 so where it went I have no idea but an glad its gone.U all keep doing the good things u r doing by shareing the tricks to weight loss that helps us all.
