For example, this past weekend I had my mother in law, sister in law and girlfriend of my step son here for Thanksgiving. I was much the smallest woman and I am easily 50 lbs over what I could be. It's truly insidious how this works on your mind. Instead of being aware that I am still 50 lbs overweight, I was much more aware of being the small person in the room. Hmmm, just thought of something. Did this false sense of 'thinness' give me permission in my mind to go off track this week? If that's the case, then I really need smarten up. Other people's food issues do not provide an excuse for my food issues. I need to own my own problems. Oh my, yes, this is so true.
