Alright, I had a “bad” day, What of it??  I brought my own salad to my mom’s.  I also stopped at the store and bought a veggie and fruit plate.  GO ME!  I had a cookie, two doritos, a couple peices of chocolate, five jelly beans, a short rib, a veggie cake (a cultural food that is common where I am from, but I dont know the name! haha) it’s like a batter full of shrimp and veggies, then you fry it and it’s like this bumpy ball of goodness.  Then at the end I had a brownie.  It was so decadent that I seriously wanted to go and be alone with it – so I could close my eyes and moan with each bite as I rolled it on my tongue and not seem pervy and weird.

It may sound like I did badly, but honestly, I practiced a LOT of restraint.  I wanted to eat lots of rice, meat, beans, CHIPS (I wanted like a mixing bowl full of doritos)… but while everyone tucked into our main dinner, i sat down with my salad from the night before.  Munch… grunch… gag.  Haha, no I didn’t gag but it was hard to find it appealing amongst all the amazing food I grew up with.  This happened last week, too, and is not usual for us to do this so often, but its because of the blizzard last week that made us do it again today since my bro’s family came in town.

So anyway, I’m SURE my weigh-in tomorrow will be HORRENDOUS.  But it’s okay.  I’ll be back full on tomorrow.  Even though I haven’t dropped much weight to see a difference to most people – my mom, brother and sister in law both saw a difference in me today and I usually would think they were saying it to be polite but I know they were saying the truth.  For one, because of my food choices, my body just seems to be distributing the weight differently.  Before, because of all the carbs, I suspect, my belly was almost distended – it was so big.  Now it’s really flattened in my upper abdomen and around my face.  It’s subtle, most people wouldn’t see it, but they did.  Plus I heard my SIL talkinga bout it when I was in another room – and she’s not one to flatter.  So, it was nice and encouraging to keep it up.  Look what was accomplished in 3 weeks.  I’m now starting week four.  Just imagine what week eight will bring!  I’m up for it!
