Christmas lunch

[Jerry02]

My daughter is being kind enough to bring me lunch. So it's a surprise. I will plan on watching my portion sizes

Check out the Daily Diary (following the link I've given you) and you can add your meal plans there. If you click on Write, you'll keep writing a new post and you don't get as much interaction that way as by joining in an existing post

When someone cooks me a meal I eat it with relish . For me this won't be everyday and I am grateful for it . A psychological pick me up . You have a very thoughtful daughter .

Yes she is. My husband passed so I was home alone

Gosh you have both been through so much . Would you get more out of any group exercise . I joined a walking group as where I live I don't feel that safe walking alone . I don't always chat to people but gives you the option .I feel more relaxed walking with a group .

Honestly that's why I joined this group. I needed a social outlet. I have social anxiety so this is a big step for me. I wanted to be able to relate to someone working toward the same goal.

You have chosen the right place then as sometimes I felt it was only me who had very isolated thoughts and feelings. This site is still a pick me up . I also joined the book club on here to read what people have read and have enjoyed some of the recommendations as well as having to think how to describe briefly the books I read . Not only about focusing on weight loss but things that distract help me with daily life . People around me have been ill - worry and time spent dragging me down then I eat and feel sad . Buried in a good book or just reading a relatable post made me feel better.

Good you point me in the direction of the book club. I too love to read especially informative books 😄
