Week 4 Eating Out
June 21, 2011
Tonight I a couple of the girls from work and I went out to eat and have drinks. At the end of the dinner one of them said that she was impressed that I’d only had one glass of wine and a salad for dinner. Okay so I did have three big delicious fried scallops. For me this was good. I generally go overboard. I told her that for two weeks I had been stressing about our going out because of my typical habit to over indulge. But for two weeks I had been planning on how to eat tonight. So when we sat down, although my stomach grumbled for a platter of deep friend fish, shrimp and chips I with a couple of cocktails to wash it down, I stuck to my plan and went for the salad with Balsamic vinegar. I shocked myself, but I proved again to myself that making a plan that doesn’t feel like deprivation works everytime.
