Lunch out two days in a row. The first lunch was at the ChaChaMa Grill in East Patchogue. The second lunch was a La Palapa in the East Village. Both are small restaurants with delicious food. Cafe de olla at LaPalapa is definitely "to die for".
When I was losing weight, I would make a conscious effort to eat one half or less of each item served. I did not do that for these two meals. I did practice "mindful eating" and was aware, at the end of each meal, that I was too full. Of course I skipped desert. And, most important, I weighed myself this morning despite my fear that I had probably gained some weight! Not too terrible. Only 0.2 pounds! Basically, I am still three pounds over my current maintenance break goal weight. Will try to get it lower this week.
About Me
- annabelleny
- I am a breast cancer survivor who gained 30 pounds during treatment. Most of it occurred during the five years on tamoxifen. Last year, post tamoxifen, I discovered Josephine Connolly Schoonen's Fitness and Weight Loss program in Family Medicine at Stony Brook University Hospital. Twenty pounds came off easily. Since she recommends a maintenance break (see page 5 of her book entitled: Losing Weight Permanently with the Bull's Eye Food Guide)between intervals of weight loss, I have been trying to maintain the weight loss over the winter before trying to lose additional weight.
