Vow
Tonight we went out for a fabulous Thai meal at Ayada with Evan's family. Evan and I split a crispy catfish salad, chive dumplings, fried red snapper with basil sauce and pad kaprow with vegetarian duck. Then we all came home to eat sublime French pastries from Cannelle. I was showing Evan's mother some old photos, replete with evidence of my weight gain. Slim limbs, narrow hips, svelte torso--all proving that I wasn't always this size. I think I need to pull one of them and put it on the fridge, or scan it and put it on my phone. I can and I will return to that size by exercising in ways that worked for me in the past and by being more active and, yes, eating more protein and less carbs.

these days i refuse to eat pastries or baked goods unless i bake them myself. that way i know exactly what's going into them. same thing for pretty much everything i eat. lots of tofu, roasted veggies, and then whole grains and my regular heaping dose of carbs, fruit, and yogurt. i always carry a water bottle as well as a bag of fruits and nuts for snacking.
weight gain is such a slippery slope, but you shouldn't beat yourself up about it! i think with small lifestyle adjustments things will start to change. the thing that works best for me is avoiding prepared food as much as possible. for the past 3 years we've only eaten out once a week. it saves a ton of money and forces us to be more resourceful with our grocery list.
