Update!

Oh.  My.  Goodness.

Where have I been?

Well, I've been transitioning, ya'll.  I am officially out of the box.  I'm maintaining, losing, gaining, but so far, maintaining.  And until I get more skilled at this eating in the GAP thing, I'm satisfied with that for a couple of months.  So, to make a long story short, I've had a really hard time coming up with new in the box meals lately because oh-my-gosh-I-can-eat-other-stuff-and-that's-what-I-want-right-now!

However, I'm past that initial food freedom euphoria, and I have been doing an occasional Decision Free day here and there to help with maintenance, and boy oh boy, does it do the trick.  I figure committing to posting a new recipe a week will help me keep up these Decision Free days.  So I will.  Post a Decision Free recipe every week or so, that is, probably on the weekends.  I'm not going to employ my creative genius to make Healthy Solutions stuff, because, frankly, I feel those people have PLENTY of options.  Decision Free is the more constrictive diet, and the one that needs the most help, more ideas, more variety. 

By the way, I recently had a weight loss triumph.  I bought, and fit into, a pair of knee high black leather boots.  I could have never ever ever done this before.  Have you had any weight loss triumphs lately?  Let's focus on those, and on making this food taste great.

I'm glad to be back.  Thanks for waiting on me. Hugs.

  1. Ok this was freaky! I was coming to get one of your recipes and was going to post on your last message just asking if you were ok and still on the program as I look forward to your posts and yummy recipes and ideas.

    Imagine my surprise that you posted today!

    Awesome about the boots! Where are the pics?? Just kidding, but I am excited for you! I already have the boots I want to wear, just can't get them on yet!

    I'm nervous about transitioning; sounds like you are doing good though, so happy for you. I'm down 68lbs and feel amazing. Hoping to hit 80 by January 1st but that would be a miracle!

    Thanks for updating us and have a Merry Christmas!
