I made it through Thanksgiving no problem.My family went to my Sister in laws we always have Thanksgiving there since my brother past away in 06.I carried several lowcarb dishes.Funny thing is they were gone before the high carb foods.I have really done well was a little disappointed with my weightloss to begin with.But this week I have officially lost 39 lbs.I was so excited when I stepped on my scale. My pain hasn't gotten any better in fact it feels worse.I don't take pain meds unless it's a can't stand it any more pain. I took a Tramadol Tuesday night finally eased off. My diabetic numbers are good especially the last two weeks.My weight now is 215 yay me.
