We have the opportunity to eat out tonight - Holland's going to my parents' house for a sleep over. BUT, we already ate out this week and used up about half of our "weekly points".
So, what's a weight watchin' girl to do?
This girl is going to go out, celebrate and make sure every last calorie she consumes is 100% totally worth it.
It's not going to be easy. It doesn't fit in with my "all or nothing" brain patterns. I'm firmly in the "nothing" frame of mind and allowing myself an indulgence sort of freaks me out at this point. I've been doing so well. And it's going to sting if I gain come Monday.
But it's an idea I need to get OK with as it's in line with what normal people do and how normal people eat. I know my brain isn't normal (shhhhhh.....I'm specifically talking about food here, people!) so it's a constant struggle to react to food in a normal way. It's one night. It's a place we've never been. It's a great menu of lots of different "heavy apps" and it looks AMAZING from the website. I'm not tying the feedbag on at the local casino buffet, gulping down quantities of tasteless unidentifiable foods. Which incidentally is exactly what we would have done had this anniversary happened three weeks ago.
Mindful eating and balance is the goal and I think tonight is a perfect example of both. To quote my friend Lisa, "When it's a party- eat like it's a party. When it's not a party step away from the table."
And that's what I intend to do!
For fun - a wedding picture or two:
And our engagement picture - Man do we look young!!
