Well, i have suprised myself!!
On Sunday it was my birthday. We had nothing planned and so i was not tempted to eat just for the 'special occasion'. One less temptation to worry about...
My dad however decided he would take the family out for a meal to celebrate......ah ha! a challenge i thought!
So, last night we went out to a local restaruant...i ordered my glass of water took the menu (just because everyone else was looking at one) and sat there feeling really good.
...the waitress came over and took the orders, got round to my dad who loudly announced 'shes not eating love, shes on a diet'...i nearly died!!! WHY did he have to announce it to every man and his dog???? i felt fat, self concious and silly! But i felt no need to explain myself to anyone, i just let the bar staff look at me funny (as if to say 'well yeah, look at her, she is a bit porky i can understand why shes on a diet...')
so the meal was brought out...lovely salad, chips vegetables, mushroom stroganoff.....and i sat there with a cup of coffee not even tempted!!! OMG! i really did suprise myself. By this time last year (on my first 'stint' at CD) i had already blown it and eaten pizza (for my birthday) porridge, copious amounts of toast and numerous other goodies. But this time feels different, i want to finish off what i started and finally be thin! im on a roll and nothing is gonna stop me!! AND if i am honest, the only thing on the table last night that i would have really liked to have eaten would have been the salad and veg! i wasnt even tempted by chips!! OMG!
i dont mean to blow my own trumpet, but im just so proud of myself for not following last years ups and downs and just keeping my head down and being strong and not tempted. in fact i feel all smiley on the inside!!
anyway, enough inane waffle from me.....
