Polka-dot Pansie

Well I made it through the long weekend.  With the kids out of school and my husband just getting home from a week out of town it seemed like everything was crazy.  I was able to keep up on my exercise.  I am doing good but I don't know if I have lost any weight.  I tried to weigh yesterday and found out that my scale's battery went out.  I am going to replace that today and weigh.  I am a terrible dieter.  I have found that as soon as I tell myself that I can't have something I want it more and more until I get it.  I am sure  that is true with most people.  I have decided that my diet plan is going to be this.  I am going to eat 1/2 of my meal.  I am going to eat all the same food as my family.  Fix the healthiest food that I can and only eat 1/2 of what I would normally.  I tried that this weekend and it worked great.  When my family went out to eat I ordered as usual, split the meal in 1/2 and brought the rest home.  I found that I wasn't hungry.  Actually, it seemed that I didn't snack as much after dinner as I did before.  That doesn't make sense to me but that is how it was.  I had to ask myself why I was eating so much at dinner and then snaking 2 hours later when I could be full with half the amount of food.  Maybe next week I will be saying " I AM STARVING, THIS ISN'T WORKING".  Until then all is well.
