Went to Orlando today, not for overnight, just for a meeting and then back home.  I brought snacks with me (Chocolite bar and smoked almonds) to hold me over because I figured I wouldn’t have time to eat lunch until I was on the way home.  So at about 2:30 pm I stopped at Golden Corral and paid eleven bucks for their buffet lunch. 

The plus side would be that there were many low/no carb choices so I had no trouble finding something to eat that would be on plan.  The minus side was that I had to wade through so many temptations.  I didn’t give in to any of them, but they were there.  Looking good.  Too good.

Woke up to a gain this morning.  *Sigh* I wanted to be under 247 and stay there.  Eh, normal fluctuations.

On the way home from Orlando I stopped to visit my sister (and my nephew and my niece, who both live with her).  I haven’t seen them since July.  I totally expected that they would say something about my weight loss, that they would immediately notice the difference.  None of them said a word.  It sucks that I have so much weight to lose, that I can lose almost 40 lbs. and it’s such a drop in the bucket that it’s not noticeable.  Then again, my friends and co-workers say all the time, that they can tell I’ve lost weight.

Oh well.  Maybe after another 38 lbs., it’ll be more noticeable.
