Hi, I just wanted to give an update on how my goals have been coming along.  It was my birthday on Tuesday, February 19th.  I have to be very honest, I over indulged and ate a lot of my ice cream cake that my husband bought.  This week has been very busy for me and my family so I haven’t been eating quite as well as I would like.  I am looking at it in the sense that I need to just get back in the swing of things on Monday because I always treat myself to one good meal of anything I want to eat on Saturdays.  I have learned that to lose weight you can’t deprive yourself constantly of foods that you crave or you will just set yourself up to binge eat.  The key to weight loss in my opinion is not perfectionism, it is impossible to be perfect in everything that you eat and drink and it is not the real world.  You and I are always going to be exposed to food and you have to look at it as I am going to make a good food choice 90% of the time and 10% of the time you can enjoy the foods that you crave.

 As always, feel free to leave me a comment.  I would love to know your thoughts on eating and what day you treat yourself to a meal that you love.
