I was reading my journal. I haven't added an entry in a while. It was quite fun reading my thoughts just after being banded. I was reading my daily meals too, funny I wasn't making very good choices back then. I had cookies for dinner one day... jeesh.

I make much much healthier choices these days. I should keep more of a log of my food. I tried on fitday, however it is so hard to find matches for foods that it got frustrating.

Just ran my numbers. I am down...

I found a black dress yesterday. Whew! I was able to buy it a size smaller. It's a bit more fashionable too, with its little flare at the bottom.

This morning, of course, I put the dress on. I selected a blouse to go over the dress. I put it on and walked to the mirror. The shirt was too big, it looked ridiculous. So, I walked back to the closet and got a second shirt (same size) and looked in the mirror again. The second shirt looked just as bad. LOL. My husband is waiting...
