Fat and Happy but not Healthy

So for today I have been a total food nazi and that had to do with the fact that “lunch” aka your dinner was a dinner party with family. I knew I needed to front load my calories and have an amazing breakfast and I made sure I snacked before going. It paid off. I was tempted by the treats and I induged myself in a teeny tiny piece of brownie that turned out to suck and I opted for fresh fruit and cool whip with angel food cake which tasted a hundred percent better. I actually saved the brownie until the very end and was disappointed.  I’m going to eat a very simple dinner now. It’s really proving that if I’m eating more and more healthily it’s amazing, I know it’s only like week one but I feel finally like I’m ona n eating plan I can maintain. Calorie counting is definitley for me. I have a friend who eats whatever she wants as long as it doesn’t go over her calorie limit. I’m trying to make better choices and I’m definitley coming out more satisfied. Even my husband agrees that this healthy food change has made a definite improvement in my affect. I’m in a good mood alot more often then I was on “junk” While I never ate truly junk, I think I starved myself on accident cause I thought it was what I was supposed to do. Also!! I read the rule that half of your plate should be vegetables it truly helps you feel fuller. The steam fresh bags are AMAZING!!

Also I’m going to continue measuring my food as I am truly surprised at the amount that is acceptable and the actual surving size.

One thing I want to invest in is a small scale. I know down the road I will become used to the serving sizes and probably won’t have to measure as much, but until then! I’m going to continue measuring.

I’m excited for tomorrow to see what it brings. I’m nervous also because on Sunday is our family reunion, and I also have to move down to the university for 5 weeks and live with a friend. I know it won’t be as easy to maintain my diet there with all the temptation.

I do enjoy an occasional drink, what alcohol has the lowest calorie content. Sounds like a search I’m going to need to make.
