Happy Friday Day, Warriors!
Hope all the Warriors are doing well and wishing each of you a totally FAB-tastic day in every way possible!
Stay WARRIOR Strong!
This afternoon I have to take my twin back to El Paso airport to fly back to Orlando. I can't believe we've already spent our week together... TIME went by too flippin' fast as far as Imma concerned!
We had a super terrific time playing guitar, reminiscing about the past and truly catching up with our lives... funny how phone calls and texts just aren't enough...
Imma sorry that our week together is practically over... but Imma grateful to have had this special time with him all to myself! I will probably never get that opportunity again b/c he is married with children.
We had many heart to hearts about my life-long struggles with my weight and he said he had no IDEA the demons (food related issues and all that entails) I battled on a daily basis.
Since he's never had a weight problem, he was clue-less. But I educated him on our LC WOE/WOL and all the trials and tribulations... the decades of yo-yo dieting etc... How CI/CO is BS for people like us who are carb intolerant and carb addicts to boot.
Eye opening experience for him for sure... Imma glad I had a chance to explain these things to him.
Like I told Berni in my journal today, He's told me numerous times how very proud he is of me. But he says that he had no idea about the struggle I have faced my entire adult life...
He said I changed his way of thinking about dieting in general, LC WOE specifically and the obesity problem worldwide!

Same here, when you've occasionally mentioned your DH by name, it makes me

It is wonderful you guys kinda eat the same. Helps SO much that the 'guests when visiting' don't expect the crazy food feast and helps keep ya all calm in that dept!!!
SO glad you are having such a good time!

It's been great "eating-wise" but then his visit or anyone else visiting me would NOT change one iota the way I eat. He did suggest going out to eat. I told him great, I'll eat when we get back. He said he wasn't going to eat in front of me, so he nixed that idea.
This has probably been the cheapest vacation he's ever taken, I mean aside from the plane fare!

I had to put my A72 HC glasses on last night. I stuck to my allowed foods but for a moment thought about grabbing one of the ice cream bars they offered. I was tempted, but I resisted and talked myself out of it. So yay. Not worth it . Can't give in to temptation....

Woot! Woot! WTG, De!
That is a GREAT strategy and one I've used many times... better to KNOW what damage some food will do BEFORE you actually eat it. Like you, that info is enough to say
NO not worth it!

We had a great view for the fireworks. We could see the whole city with fireworks going off everywhere from my DDIL's sister's balcony. It was pretty awesome. The kids had fun with their safe & sane fireworks too. Their favorite was the pooping dog. Lol.

Sounds like your city's firework display was awesome and your vantage point top notch!
