Happy Thursday All!
Good day ahead of me here. There is a group of us at the office that lunch together. They told me yesterday that they are so envious of how I "build" my lunch salads and that they always look so yummy. I hate the styrofoam containers the cafe provides so I always ask them for a plate and I take my time arranging all my yummy goodness. I told them you have to put some love into what you are preparing and appreciate the bounty rather than just loading a plate and wolfing it down and not even knowing what you are eating. They all laugh but in the long run really support and applaud my weight loss to date.
Well all this led to a conversation with one of my lunch buddies. I love her dearly and have seen her lose and gain about 150 lbs two times now. She is currently at the gained it all back and more end. She informed me privately that she is going to start WW again and also join Curves again which was her previous method. She is at the point where she can barely walk and is totally out of breath with only a couple of steps. I know she can do this again and I am so proud of her.

Nice that you can be a good influence on others - both here and in person.

Babs, I think I would have done the same with the food! after all you eat with the eyes before your mouth and if it dont look good, im not eating it! lol well done to your friend on making the choice

Hi Babs - I couldn't agree with you more - I have found in the last few months my food preparation is just as important as sitting down to eat it - If I enjoy putting it nicely on to my plate and think through what is there, I find I sit and eat it with more thought and enjoy every mouth full.....I did ask my husband if we could dress up for dinner, but he said that was a step too far.....oh how I pine for the olden days of dressing up for dinner.....I think I live in the wrong century :) Lucky your lunch buddy has you for inspiration :)

Sad and happy for your friend. Losing 150 pounds and gaining it all back, plus more, makes me sad. We've all been there though (whether 20 or 150). I'm glad she is getting back in the wagon. It's a much better place to be.

@radiochick, I know, I am also both sad and happy for her at the same time. This will be her 3rd time losing over 150 lbs. I asked her about this cycle she has been in. She told me she just gets sick of it and she loves food and booze too much to make permanent changes. This tells me she has not been into making permanent life changes. Myabe this time will be different for her, I hope so. I pray for her!

@triaby, I don't think the dress up at my house would go over too well either...at least not for dinner (hee-hee)!

Thanks all for the thoughts about my friend and her journey. I have really thought about telling her about FS and I have decided against it. She seems pretty well set on doing her WW on line and her Curves class, so I am not ready to throw another "tool" her way. Besides, I think I want to keep this my private little place away from family and friends.

See what a great inspiration you are to your friends. I think that is so wonderful. Your eating habits have inspired them and now you may have buddies to get healthy with. That is fantastic. Keep up the great work.:)

Bab's that is fantastic! I also agree you have to take the time to put some TLC into what you are eating, my co-workers often make fun of me for making my food look really good just to eat it.. but it makes it so much more enjoyable!

@Lisa, I have decided against doing that. I really would like to keep my work life and personal life separate. Don't get me wrong, I love my work friends but I don't have relationships with them outside of the office and I really don't want to introduce them to this private part of my life.

Babs, it is always so wonderful when we are able to help others along their life's journey. Good for you, and I agree, presentation of the food is just as important as eating....it is so much more enjoyable when it looks as great as it tastes!

I agree about the prep and display of yout food, it should look good and be good too! I am glad your friend at work has someone to confide in... I know what it is like to lose a whole bunch of weight only to see it come back again and bring along some friends with it. I know WW works very well for some people, I have a couple friends who have followed it for quite a few years now. It's not for me though. Have a fantastic weekend!
