2pounds lighter

I was ready for a gain. Last night I went to a friend's wedding. There were tables covered with food and a pig being slow-cooked in the pit.

I used the plastic spoon and didn't put anything on my plate that didn't fit on that spoon. (Only one spoonful for each desired dish.) I made up for the little piles on my plate by getting a really big portion (13.5 points worth) of pork. And I ate one cookie. My plate was oh-so-satisfying and I still got to try everyone's dish. I opted out of wedding cake and chose not to drink the sherbet punch but didn't miss them.

Still, I was pretty sure this was going to kill today's weigh-in. And here I sit at the laptop MINUS two pounds! I am so stoked!

Right now I feel like my goal of wearing a bikini next summer (without causing public waves of nausea) isn't just a joke, but a real possibility. I really don't plan on wearing a bikini (after the double mastectomy, I don't have anything to fill the top - BUT it would be nice to have the option to wear one) - that my weight won't dictate my fashion choices. I will decide what I want to wear - not whatever is in my size that I settle for.

Oh, those two pounds mean SO much! This is the perfect mood for grading papers. Time to get to work...after all, it is Labor Day. :)
