Family Reunion, Homecoming, Tail Gaiting

Where do you find massive quantities of food? Events such as family reunions and homecomings. This past weekend I attended the 24th annual homecoming for my fathers family. The crowd was smaller than usual – the weather wasn’t good which kept some people away but those who came brought home cooked goodies. The week before the reunion I tried to eat lite in preparation for the reunion. Saturday I managed okay but Sunday I attended homecoming with my niece at her church. 

Life Without Chocolate

As I enter my third month of weight loss I ask myself is it getting easier or harder. Some things are easier but overall it is still hard. For years now I’ve pretty much eaten what I wanted and there are days when I just want to sit down and pig out. I don’t seem to crave sweets and sugar as much but I still have not completely deleted those from my diet. To be honest it is hard for me to imagine life without chocolate. I’ve never particularly liked dark chocolate. But I love milk chocolate and white chocolate and if it has caramel or whipped topping or nuts ……… that’s the best. Milky Way is my favorite.
