Decided tonight for the first time (other than when I was on holiday) that I would like to go out for a meal with my family and our friends.
First of all I got ready and wore my new size 16 skinny fit jeans that I bought 2 weeks ago as an inspiration pair, they have been hanging on my wardrobe door to keep me motivated.
Before I left home I had a big glass of water and a banana tetra to make sure I wasn't hungry.
At the restaurant I read the menu from cover to cover and decided on a turkey salad from the starter menu as my main course. Asked the waiter if I could have the yoghurt dressing separate. When the salad came, it was a perfect portion size with the dressing in a little jug. I am not fussed about salad dressing anyway so it doesn't bother me having none. DH and kids left chips and other bits of food that normally I would pick at, but no I was full after my salad (the tomatoes found their way onto someone else's plate )
I feel so proud of myself for making correct choices for myself, and it was great hearing Susie (friend) say how great I was looking. She sees me every day, but I am usually in jodhs or baggy unfitting jeans.
Can't believe I am wearing size 16 jeans for the first time in around 16 years :bliss:arty0011:arty0011:
