IT was tough for me tonight. My mom and I went to see rod Stewart tonight and have been going to se him for 20 years. After every concert we stopped by ihop for a slice of pie. Well tonight there was no point in stopping so we kept driving home. It feels weird not going through with our tradition and got me thinking what traditions have you given up and what other am I going to give up.

We just took our annual summer trip and I wasn't able to enjoy some theme park treats but on a happy note, I did enjoy the rides. I also miss partaking in our Saturday night summer ice cream rides after dinner. My 5 and 3 year old girls keep trying to share with me . I have a girls night out coming up - that will be interesting because we all used to drink and enjoy sharing apps and desserts. With all that being said, being 50 lbs lighter since surgery and 94lbs lighter than highest weight means more than any food

Movie popcorn. I'll have to take my own snacks I guess. But we wil be able to have a few bites of sweets later on. However I don't think I want to even go there. Once I start I can't stop.

The Holidays will be the hardest time with family and all coming to my house Becuse I have the biggest house (draw back my fault). I already miss cooking and our friends miss my cooking to
