The Wooshie Fariy Blessed Me Today!

[Stella]

Oh My!! I had quite a day yesterday and wanted to give some encouragement to others who may face the same.

I had a family Christmas gathering (Soup and appetizers) Friday night where there was not much I could eat. I did take Jalepeno Poppers (Thank you Lindas Low Carb Recipes!!) so I could have those and I had a few veggies with out dip. I did O.K. because I had my wonderful sister-in-law who is also doing Atkins there with me and it was fun to not focus so much of food and enjoy everyones company.

That leads to Saturday morning when we had to get up pretty early and head out to a 4 hour drive to go to my husbands Christmas party. I had no time to prepare much of anything so I was really dreading it. The main course was ham balls - (What in the world??) Anyway, there was absolutely NOTHING atkins friendly on the menu. There was a table of 10 and I held onto my reserve and just grabbed a few celery sticks, a few piece of summer sausage and a few chunks of cheese and sat at the table with everyone else. It was very hard, not really because I wanted the food, but because Eating is a SOCIAL event. Espically around the holidays. Everyone chatting about this dish or that and passing the dishes to everyone. I kind of felt like I was from MARS. When it came time for dessert, I had to open up a BIG cookie (the kind with frosting) and cut if for the kids...OH MY did that thing smell good! I was really for the first time in over a month almost tempted to grab and piece and just savor it. Of course I did not such thing.

Anyway....I was good and when I woke up this morning I found that I had a WOOSHI! Thank you Whooshie Fariy! I hadn't lost even an ounce for 8 days (I had lost inches though - a pant I wore at the same weight 6 days ago were almost falling off of me yesterday, so I wasn't too worried) BUT Today, (OH HAPPY DAY!!) I lost 4.6 lbs!! What a treat for being so good when it was so hard yesterday.

Happy Holidays and I hope the Wooshie Fairy rides with Santa tonight for everyone!!!

Re: The Wooshie Fariy Blessed Me Today!

Thank you Julie - talk about photos and before and during!! Yours are stunning!! I'm not even talking about the backgrounds! ! (Wish we had some of that here in Illinois!)

Tracie - I'm thinking of you - any news yet? Have you measured for inches. I'm sure the wooshie will be there any day now! I have no idea if this has anything to do with it but I did make the "Wooshie Pie" recipe on 4 days before my wooshie. It was pretty good. I didn't think it would work though because my sweet hubby brought home the wrong type of horseradish. He could only find the creamy kind. Maybe it did work. If I have a stretch like that again, I'll give it a go.
Also, have you checked out Chapter 25, pg. 331 in the DANDR? I did more research on the board here and found a test. From this test, it says I have it, but since I'm not showing any symptoms and I had a wooshie, I'm not worried about it at the moment.
Talk to you later!! Thanks girls!
