Guess Who Came To Dinner… a T.H.I.N. !
Saturday an old classmate of mine called to say her connecting flight had been cancelled and she was stuck at the airport and would like to stay over night with me then catch a flight home the next day. I was delighted as we had not seen each other in years. Then reality set in and I remembered she had always been a size 10. EEEK!
Me with all my low fat high fiber foods, what was I going to feed my normal size friend? Before I could figure it all out she arrived and it was soon time to fix dinner. As I washed the salad greens, my friend grabbed the balsamic vinegar and some olive oil and started making her own salad dressing. I must have frozen with my mouth open, because she said “I hope you dont mind but I never eat those store bought dressing, too much fat and sugar for me.” I smiled and said me too. While I steamed some mixed veggies, she found the smart balance spread and said I just love this stuff, its so much better than plain butter. I said me too. I was about to pull some steaks out of the freezer when she spied some 98% fat free turkey breast cutlets and said, “Can we have these instead? Steaks are okay but I’d rather try these.” I said me too. As I poured us both a tall glass of ice water with a lemon wedge I told her that I try to drink at least a quart of water a day. She smiled and said me too.
Yep, I found out that Ms T.H.I.N. - Totally Healthy, In-charge and Not-hungry - had spent a lifetime doing what I have just learned how to do. Eat healthy, exercise, drink lots of water, and read the labels on everything I buy. Feels good to be T.H.I.N.

That’s cute, I love this blog!
It’s time for us to be just like Ms. Thin too, huh.
Just looking at your weight loss so far is very inspiring and encouraging - you’ve done a fantastic job! Keep up the good work
I wish I could be in Texas to give you a big ol’ hug and tell you how proud I am of you! But I guess you will have to settle for:
(((((((((((((((((DEE!!!!!))))))))))))))
I love this story!
Super blog! sista! You are awesome! Your weight loss is very impressive.
Love your blog!
Thanks for sharing!

Isn’t it amazing that when we start to pay attention., all those people we thought could just eat and be skinny really are not that way but they are a THIN. It makes sense and when we start to bemoan that we can’t eat this and eat that we have to remember to act as a THIN would act. Wonderful blog and great thinking!
I LOVE THIS, ITS JUST TOO BAD THAT WE JUST STARTED READING LABELS AND EATING GOOD AND SOME PEOPLE HAVING BEEN DOING IT ALL THEIR LIVES. BUT ITS NEVER TOO LATE TO START. I KNOW I HAVE A WAYS TO GO BUT I ALREADY FEEL ALOT BETTER THAN I DID SIX MONTHS AGO.
Wow, what a nice lovely story, truly inspiring! I’m so proud of you, Dee! I think am now a T.H.I.N. too, hehe.
Now is see your weight loss tracker I can see you’re very very close to your goal! Good luck, Dee, you’re almost there!
By the way… what happened to your smileys panel?
Have a nice day,

Boy, do I have a loooooong way to go.
it’s amazing, isn’t it? i thought another concept that was so basic, yet so new to me was this: eat when you’re hungry and stop when you are full not stuffed. it’s amazing to me that nobody taught us this. i wonder what makes people different like that, genetics or upbringing. thanks for the blog. have a great day and keep up the good work.
Good blog…I felt like I was there and THIN too!
Thanks for sharing!
I am a T.H.I.N. on the inside…I just know it~
loved that you kept saying,
“me too”!!!!
I loved reading this. Made me grin. Dee, I never knew what THIN meant. So cool! You’re friend sounds pretty cool too. You are tops on the cool list though. Tops…
Hugggggggggggs,
Shan
