Yay! Back to my pre-trip weight, with one extra pound lost!!!!!!!!!!
I'm feeling good, and my clothes are looking sufficiently baggy (must.buy.more.new.clothes!) The hunger has waned off and I'm all set. I feel like I can happily turn down offers of sweeties, etc now (for a few days I was a bit worried that my will power wouldn't be enough) so hopefully I'll get through the holiday period.
Thanks again guys! I feel so much better! I'll start posting on the other threads again (have been holding off until the "December Goals" thread starts up).
