Finally I had the opportunity for a real meal.  DietGourmet offers freshly prepared meals that taste wonderful.  Last night after  couple of weeks I have been eating frozen dinners, and shelf stable foods, I decided to give them a try.  Last night I actually had a dinner that was tasty, and filling.  For a little over 500 calories I had a curried chicken salad, fruit, crackers, couscous stuffed with nuts, fruit, and more, and even pineapple pudding!! I set the fork down completely satisfied.  The first time in since the 19th of November. 

On another note, I was looking around the web and there are lots of great spreadsheets that have information on how your weight changes, and how you can rule out the day to day fluctuations.  So if you are good with Excel I would recommend modifying this spreadsheet. It will rule out any daily sudden increases with the five day moving average.  I know it has me feeling better.

I don’t relish the thought of taking on a weight loss plan in the middle of the holidays.  It makes social events awkward for me.  I have generally been the one to keep a pretty full wine glass, and would nosh on everything.  My last social event was highly restrained, me drinking water the whole evening, and not inhaling all of the wonderful cookies that were floating around.  At times I would sell my soul for a fresh out of the oven cookie. 

I seriously love DietGourmet, and will be using them a couple of times a week to make dining easier.
