A lot of those 'normal people' don't generally make the choice to see that gain, have the wherewithal to know its mostly water, and especially not to get themselves back on track and make good choices!
Hooray for NOT being normal!!
Happy birthday... glad you enjoyed it.

I think a better way to put it is that it's not that that I don't want to be MINDFUL about my food choices; I just wish sometimes I didn't have to be so.. well, for lack of a better term, ANAL about it. But, reality is I probably will have to be anal about it at least for a little while before I get into the swing of what maintenance will mean for me.
I know I've been out with people that are just vocal about it; like they'll say, "Gah! This is way too much food for me to eat! There's no way I'll be able to finish that!" ... and then they don't. They eat about half, and either box up or throw away the part they don't eat. Me? I
have to either order the
exact portion I'm going to eat, or box it up before I get started, otherwise I'll end up eating til I'm "full", and then I'll just mindlessly pick at it because it tastes good and I don't want it to end, lol. I think part of it's because I've been conditioned to clean my plate when I'm eating, and that's a REALLY hard thing to break out of!
However, I like the way you put it... I should celebrate not being normal. Cause "normal" people don't even weigh themselves on a regular basis, lol. They'd eat like that and not even think about it; I knew to assess the damage and catch it before it turned into a down slide. I like to think, in that case, that I'm more awesome than normal people. I've outsmarted them. XD
Thank you all for the birthday wishes!! Cheers to having more happy birthdays to come.
