The Pony went out for Chinese food a couple weeks ago. I think this was on actual Mother's Day. I'm not complaining. The Pony would have taken me out to eat if I would have gone. I don't like getting out much. Mainly because I don't like people!
Also because it's complicated if I haven't been somewhere before, and wonder if I can walk that far, and what kind of seating they will have. The chairs in the diner at the casino are SO LOW that I have problems getting up and down from them. Doesn't keep me from going to the casino, though! Or from eating while I'm there.
Anyhoo... for the past couple years, I've been making wise choices and cutting back. The scale has shown significant results, so YAY, ME! I would love to eat a meal like The Pony's picture, but I can control myself. Doesn't hurt to look, though!
I would love that Sweet & Sour Chicken. And a couple of crab rangoons. I don't have to have the fried rice. And the SUSHI doesn't tempt me at all! I don't know why a Chinese restaurant has sushi, but The Pony likes it. Better than buying it at Country Mart, I suppose.
The Pony sent me the picture after eating. I was in town at the time, parked at the Gas Station Chicken Store. Another text followed, with The Pony's fortune:
My reply to the photos was: "Yum. I'm in town. Raging."
I think it's harder to resist the road rage than the Chinese food.

I am in agreement with everything on Pony's plate and that is why I need to be in the gym 3x a week, LOL. Kudos to you for making changes and seeing results!
jj,
Thanks. If my knees would allow me into a gym (though I prefer walking a couple miles a day at home), I would also be able to eat like The Pony every now and then!
Fingers crossed all this wrapping up will lead to better things for your knees and some walking! My jeans are feeling tight as I type, ha!
jj,
My clothes are falling off me, but it's not helping my knees! The wrapping DOES make my legs feel better, and OT is pleased with the progress. Unfortunately, my knee shot is wearing off at the same time. So I can't revel in feeling good in both the legs and the knee!
I wish my clothes were falling off me! To be fair I haven't put in enough effort to make that happen, though I did have to wear a size down in denim shorts last summer as my usual ones keep slipping down. I really MUST make more effort, for my liver's sake. Apparently a lifetime of sweet things can cause cirrhosis just as much as alcohol can. Many of my favourite things will now be off the menu 😢
River,
I wish I could walk to town and be as active as you are! I was hoping my cutting back would also help my knees, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I've made a lot of effort, counting my daily calories, but allowing occasional treats by cutting out other foods that day. It would be so much easier if I could also exercise more than just walking in and out of convenience stores!
Well we don't want them to fall off during a walk, lol! Fingers crossed you will feel good in the legs and knees -too bad your shot didn't last 6 months like Hick's ;)
jj,
NOBODY wants to see that! With my luck, if I had Hick's shot, it would have lasted less than two months, like he changed his tune and said it did, to be a bigger victim, when I said mine was wearing off a few weeks ago!
