Apr 16th, part 2 - delicious Mexican remorse

Ok so.. .what can I say? Dinner was nice, we chatted a lot, decided some stuff for the site, I think it will be a fun side project, ‘ll be happy to start. BUT…. OMG I felt stuffed yesterday night! More or less like the image above sums up. And looking at my plate, I didn’t even eat THAT much, seriously less than what I would have eaten before getting into diet mentality (I even left quite a good bit of beans and rice, which I would not have normally done) but still, wow! There was lots of cheese and spicy veggies, and cheese… and the rice and beans… I wonder how many calories that must have been… and to top it off, I even had a mohito - very well done, I have to say - and I can barely remember the last time I had alcohol…. Actually the subject of alcohol is one of the things I can never seem to wrap my mind around… I can’t seem to see the big attraction! I don’t care very much for the taste, and I hate if I feel it going to my head… maybe I’m a control freak in some way and I don’t like the idea of letting myself loose, or I have had too bad examples of drunk people around so I just don’t want to be like them… but I normally can do very happily without any alcohol in my life. Ok, the occasional beer at a meal can be refreshing in the summer when out with friends, but seriously, I’m not getting drunk with a single beer, so that’s not even in my range of control-freak-ness…
Anyway, the dinner was nice but I definitely was not sticking to my diet…. ugh. Okay, I’ll have to be good tomorrow and possibly have a nice good workout… I feel my throat ache and that is my usual symptom for a cold coming… UGH, no!!!

It sounds like you are just automatically getting better at moderating what you eat without thinking about it. Even though you indulged you didn’t over indulge. I am still trying to get there myself. Good luck!

Ohh… I really wish you might be right.. it would be some good news!! I really think that posting on the blog, reading the other blogs, reading the forum… everything is helping me a lot, it is a great encouragement and I really am starting to believe that having somewhere to write these things, somewhere that will be read by other people, is making me more responsible in my choices… The last time I lost some weight I used to keep a food diary on a file in my computer, but I was the only one reading it… I think this is better, and really helpful! Thank you for your comment!
