Overload

Actually I should start this out by saying that I have miraculously lost another 2 lbs. Yeah for me. It has been hard, but at least there was a small reward at the end so I won't complain, well too much.

If nothing else, I have learned this past week that my body doesn't really really like fried foods. In a moment of 'I am too tired to cook,' we went to a local fish place to eat. Of course this place specializes in good ol' fried fish and chips. I not only ate 'fried' fish and chips, but because of a generous young man in the check out line, I took full advantage of the 'All You Can Eat' coupon he shared with us. Did dieting cross my mind? NO. All I could think was I am hungry and I get all I can eat. So I did. I did manage to get control of myself somewhat and stopped when I was really full instead of really really full. It wasn't until we were headed home that the reality of what I had just eaten hit me.

It didn't hit me in the fact I had just eaten a billion calories and fats. It hit me where it hurt. It was a good thing the family went to bed early so they didn't have to listen to my moans and groans. Was I sorry? Yes. Will I do it again? Probably because I am just a little stupid that way. Of course it won't be right away, but enough time will pass that the call of the greasy fried food of some sort will call my name and off I will go because it is the easy way out.

However, I am proud of myself that just last night I did not succumb to my weakness. My husband and I had a night alone and were going to go out for dinner. The more I thought about it the more I just couldn't think of a thing that sounded that good out there. We stayed home and I cooked a healthy dinner and have healthy leftovers for lunch. Pat on the back for me. I might actually get the hang of this yet. It has only taken me 40 years or so.

I do wish it would come off faster, but then I didn't put in on in a week. Slow and steady. Keeping the rules (well most of the time). I have to read my own blog to remember what they are. Maybe eating healthier will help my memory too. That is another story.
