birthday brownie, lesson learned

Well, today (technically, yesterday 12/26) was my birthday. We went to dinner and the server, who we know well, brought out the birthday brownie with ice cream. I did take a couple of bites, bad idea. That thing sat like a brick. I haven't eaten anything like that for months, and after tonight, I am not likely to do it again. Sleevers may not technically dump, but I felt pretty crummy. I guess in a way I am lucky, by feeling so awful after a couple of bites of sweet carby dessert, I've got motivation to just not go there. Nothing tastes good enough to make me want to feel like that again just to eat it.

 

It was my wedding anniversary yesterday and also there was a nice dinner out and friends ordered a cake for me and hubby and insisted that I take a bite for luck. I think I managed the smallest most symbolic gesture of a quater teaspoon of the whipped cream surrounding the cake. That satisfied the friends and I was happy not to have had any desire to go deeper than that into the cake!! Down another almost half lb this morning! Yay!!!

Happy belated anniversary my friend.  

Happy Belated Birthday Linda!

 

Posting a reminder: text me tonight please to confirm plans.  I have a todo list two miles long tonight and want to make sure we touch base :)

It's in my calendar so won't forget :)

Happy belated birthday Linda.  You should know that the cake will not always sit as a rock in your stomach.  You will eventually need other ways to monitor the behavior, if you need to monitor it.  This is a temporary reprieve from the reality at maintenance down the road.

I know that many people can go back to eating sugary crap, but I don't think I'm going to be one of them. Not only do I feel terrible after eating a flour, sugar, fat combo, but honestly, it was so sweet that I didn't like it. Yay, I'm so glad.
