I haven't posted in over a month because Pauline has been sick and in the hospital, and I have just been too tired to take the time to post.  I have learned some things about myself over the past month though relative to my desire to eat during a crisis.  My nieces and I were talking about how while we've been going to the hospital so much, we have found it so easy to swing by McDonalds and get food, or in my particular case....and ice cream cone!  The soft serve cone at McDonalds is the perfect size for me and it doesn't cause me any problems with dumping, and probably once a week would not be so bad.  However, during the days we were going up there everyday, I found myself swinging through that drive-thru "every day" to pick up an ice cream cone....not good!  I find that the more I allow myself to splurge like that the more I "want" to splurge.  Definitely something to keep watch on and to be careful about.  I have not lost any weight in so long now, I would have to go back through my blog to find out when I did have a lost last; but I still have at least 19 lbs to lose before I want to level off.  Seems I may have already leveled off, but I do think it's most likely due to my own choice if I have.
