I forgot to tell you something about my acupuncture session yesterday. The therapist was gathering the usual info, and she asked my weight. Well, due to an increase in anxiety, I have lost a considerable amount of weight lately. I know this because I fit into clothes that are one to two sizes smaller that my regular clothes. But, in the past every time I thought I had lost a lot of weight, the scale registered one, two or three pounds. So, I was already prepared to hear that that was also the case this time.
Well, it was not the case this time. I've lost about 14 kilos (±30 lbs). Can you believe it?! I certainly can't. I'm ecstatic, and for the first time in my life, I appreciate it.
I know that you want to know exactly how much I weigh, but that ain't gonna happen just yet ;) Sufficed to say, I'm somewhere between a size 10 or 12.
That's it for today. I only have 3 of these left, so I'll try to make them count. Talk to y'all tomorrow!

Portion Control
First of all, let me just say that keeping up with two blogs is a CHORE. But, that’s not what this post is about :). It's about eating and losing weight.
I’ve have a weight issue since I was 10. I wasn’t overweight then, but I did think I was. So, I thought the logical thing to do was eat as if I were overweight. Ergo, my issue with food began.
It’s been a long road, but I have managed to lose about 80 lbs in the last 10 years and keep it off. I’m still not at my target weight. I’ve been struggling for the past 6 or so years to take it off. So, now I’ve decided to start with portion control.
I’ve done it before, and it has shown results. But, I usually slack off after a few weeks. Boo, for me. But this time I have a “buddy”, my sister. We’ve made a plan to cook food on the weekends and freeze it in individual containers. It’s scary because you get to see just how little food you really need to eat. Then you realize how much you were actually eating! We started Monday and so far so good. Today is fried rice day. I’m using Kylie Kwong’s recipe as a base. So you see, pre cooked meals can be convenient AND tasty!
I really support the buddy system when it comes to losing weight. I think that it’s really hard to do it by yourself. Kudos to those who do. To all of you out there who are on the same mission as I am: GOOD LUCK and STAY STRONG. It’s all for a healthier and stronger you :)
