This is me in the red dress I did not buy on Monday. But wearing it well enough that I could've bought it!

Here's a pic of me from about 3 years ago, around my almost heaviest. I'll bet I don't have any pics of me at my all-time heaviest. I have generally avoided the camera for years.

Went to a meeting/luncheon today and was disappointed to see that the food being served was your choice of enormous wraps, pasta salad, pickles and what looked like "homemade" potato chips. Not exactly great fare for a low-carber like me. But I made do. No chips. Ate about 2 tablespoons of the pasta salad. Chose the steak fajita wrap and dug out all the innards from the wrap and just ate the steak, lettuce, tomato, grilled peppers and onions and the sprinkling of cheese that was on the inside. Oh. Ate the pickles, too.

My old boss hosted this meeting/luncheon (I was asked by her to serve on this advisory board), and when she saw me she told me that I looked great! (yay)

She also said, "You'll have to tell me all your secrets."

I've heard that or something similar to that from folks every now and then since I've dropped about 65 pounds from my all-time high.

And you know what I've determined? They really don't want to know that you just quit eating so much and that you're really watching what you eat. They really don't want to know that you restrict calories (or sugar or carbs or fat or whatever it is that you are keeping in check). They really don't want to know that you write down EVERY. SINGLE. THING that you put in your mouth. And if you're going to the gym (I'm not, just saying if you are) They really don't want to know that you're busting it in the gym--hard--every day and for how long.

I know what they want to hear, because I remember what I used to be very interested in (before I started doing the HARD, very HARD, work of keeping my food choices under control). I *always* wanted to hear about the easy fixes. And I admit, I *still* read those articles and testimonials of folks who are taking this particular nutritional supplement pill that "melts away fat." Or, just sprinkle every thing you eat with red pepper flakes. Or, just take 2 tblsp of apple cider vinegar a day. I *still* want all those things to be true, too. But...the truth of the matter is, for me, it's just plain hard. I don't eat whatever I want anymore. And if I do eat something "off plan," I have to make room for it in my week by cutting back somewhere else.

I think I've learned that when someone asks me that question in the future, I'm just going to smile and say, "Oh--I'll never tell!" 'Cause THAT will really keep their interest.

P.S. I hope this doesn't sound like I am resentful to those folks who are seeking answers, 'cause I'm not. And I love my old boss, and she's wonderful, and I'm glad that she noticed that I'm shrinking. It's just that I also notice, somehow, that people's excitement fades and disappointment sets in when you actually try and answer the question honestly (they can't help it). 'Cause I could talk about this all day. I'm excited about the changes I've made. Go me!
