I Had a GREAT night
I posted this on the LW board but thought I'd bring it over here, not to brag but to rejoice!
I went to a wedding last night which is usally a huge trigger for me. I was nervous cause I thought I would feel deprived or overeat. But instead, I really enjoyed myself. The food was great and I stayed on program and enjoyed every bite. I had a few pieces of cheese with fruit during ****tail hour, had half of my appetizer (spinach and ricotta in a homemade spinach pasta shell) and ate a small piece of my chicken entree.I drank water with lemon (cause I want to keep my diabetes in control). I felt satisfied and the best part is I danced ALL night in heels withought having to sit and huff and puff!!! I looked really GOOD too!!!! Wore a beautiful sexy dress I have not worn in 10 years.
My friends were so supportive! They couldn't believe how good I looked (have not seen them since surgery) and just kept coming up to me all night telling me how proud they were of me and how courageous I was taking this step. And this morning, rather than beating myself up, I feel powerful and in control!
