I'm getting ready to usher in the month of December.  I'm sitting here looking at my computer screen and I can see the sticky note that I put on the edge of the monitor at the beginning of the month.  I was 187 pounds and I had a goal of 175 pounds to reach by January first.  As of this morning I was at 183.6.     That means I have a little more than 7 pounds to lose by the end of the year....one month.  31 days (ok, 32 if I include today.)   That's a lot of pounds.  We are talking of a consistant 2 pounds a week.  I could do it!  Will it be difficult...VERY!
I had to run to the store to buy cat liter yesterday morning.  I bought three packs of gum!  I plan on chewing gum while I bake tonight.  I'm baking for two dessert trays that I am taking to two different christmas functions/parties.    I hope that will keep me from eating the dough uncontrollably!    I know that I'll probably end up eating a bite of each dough. I'm honest enough with  myself to know that it will happen.  SOOOO I've planned low points meals for today to compensate for any cookie dough I may end up eating.  Hopefully the gum will work 100 percent though!  :-)
As for the parties.  Tomorrow night will be a full meal....so that one will be rough as they almost NEVER have healthy things at their parties/meals.  Not to mention that the food is there to nibble on ALL night!  Sunday night is just refreshments. I think I may be able to manage that one better!
On to better subjects.  My weight was back to 183.6 this morning!  I'm almost back to my lowest ever weight...which was 182.8.
