I am shocked that I haven't gained more than the little bit that I have over the holidays since it felt like I was always eating.....but I guess the days in between those eating helped keep it lower than I thought it was going to be. I have actually eaten whole plate full's of dinner & not left anything. I didn't pile the plate high & I didn't go back for seconds at the buffets but I ate & felt comfortable...never pushed eating to where I felt too full......this cold weather must be helping wear off the calories also & I keep my home temp lower because I can't afford the heating bill otherwise & use a space heater in my bedroom & bathroom to keep warm in those rooms.

I have to be careful about getting too cold because the cold triggers my migraines. I know that the weight I gained will be easily lost when I end up having my oral surgery soon.......so not going to worry about it at this point even though I felt much heaver than what the scaled actually weighed......that was a huge surprise.
