I went out West to Wyoming, Colorado and San Francisco, and while I tried to eat salads and vegetables whenever I could, sometimes when you are on an organized outing, you have to eat what you are served. When I weighed myself in San Francisco I had gained six pounds and I was horrified. There was a part of me that wanted to weep at the unfairness of it all but I was in a beautiful city with lots of ethnic restaurants so I ate dim sum instead.
I've been back home for a week now and I am back to my disciplined eating and I have lost the six pounds I gained. I am glad that I did not lose more than a moment of my precious life worrying about my weight.
I am not going to neglect eating right or differently in my case but this month is going to be about more than just fat ... this is October ... the month to promote breast cancer awareness ... to celebrate the women and men who have survived, to pray for and remember those who did not and to have hope for the future.
