This is such a great quote for me today.  It is Friday and the weekend is fast approaching. What a busy weekend it  will be..  My daughter's prom is tomorrow and then a bunch of kids are coming up to the lake house for the party after...( wish me luck) and staying for a cook out on Sunday.  Anyone want 20 17 year olds???

Needless to say that where there are teenagers there will be food and plenty of it.  I have to decide the menu for when they arrive after the prom, as well as breakfast the next day and then the cook out on Sunday.  I hope I have the strength and conviction to stay away from all excess food.  I intend on staying on my plan the entire weekend.  I have done well this past week, still not weighing in ...all in a mindset.  My jeans seem a little loser so this is a good thing.

This morning I went to the gym at five and ran for an hour, today was great as my friend Angie( who is also a nurse and also on the plan) happened to be there at the same time.  We had a great discussion on will our weight issues ever not be a struggle.  I told her that I really thought that by the time I got to maintenance, I would be magically cured of all my bad habits and  eating issues.  But I struggle every day with the fat monster and thank God most days I win... I have promised myself that I would adhere strictly to plan until school got out in June.  I am hoping by writing about this upcoming weekend here that it will increase my intention and keep me disciplined. 

 I am also going to try something new this weekend I am going to keep a log of every time I resisted temptation.  I will write what I was tempted with and any comment that I feel like writing along with the moment.  It is my intention to copy it here on Monday or Tuesday... and let you know how it worked....
