Hi Buds,

Points, I'm happy to hear you had a nice Thanksgiving but I'm wondering about the sad part. hmmmmmm?

Mine was fun. We ate early. I didn't have too much but then when I went over to my sister's they were making Pina Coladas & the minute I walked in the door my bro-in-law offered me one. Then another, then another, then another, which means I had thousands of calories so forget about points. Geezzz I always do it. On my way home I was thinking to myself what a total failure I've become in my mid life But I did have a good time with hubby, my son, my nephew & brother who crack me up!! I haven't laughed in a long time. So all in all I woke up feeling better about myself & thought I spent such a great time with my family & that's what counts.

I'm debating if I should go to the mall this morning or not. I have to go to Sears & I know it's going to be a MAD HOUSE!!! I have nothing else to do so I'll be going to the stores. I have to buy Christmas decorations.

Well ladies, I hope you all had a good time with your families & thank God today is a new day.

God Bless
Essie

Essie,
I can tell by the messages you send that you are in no way a failure. Your self worth should not depend on whether you are successful losing weight or not. It is who you are on the inside. You had a great time and needed to laugh. It was a Holiday. I am so glad you had a great time. Just shake off the drinks and food from yesterday and try every day. Some days you will do it and some you won't. If your son is so close to you and your husband loves to shop with you then you are doing something right. You are in no way a failure. You are a great friend and I'll bet you are so much fun to be around. Keep laughing and working on this. It will come.
Luv ya,
Terri

I'm starting a new thread. See you on number 30. Just in time to start our countdown to Christmas. I want to lose 5 pounds and then maintain through my vacation.
