Dani_Suave's Journal, 29 January 2012

So after my whole yay me on friday afternoon what did I do? Went out and did karaoke. With the friend who got me drinking last time. And knowing this I looked up a white russian (my fav drink) and knew exactly what I was drinking when I ordered the second one that was bigger than the first - and still drank it all. *shakes head* It was dumb but at least I'm being honest with myself about my limits.

HOWEVER - YAY me again today!

My mother went to church with me which is amazing in itself as I've been praying for her to join me for the past ?3? years at least. The church put on lunch afterwards for a special vote and we stayed, me figuring that they'd have something I could munch on. Um there was some salad. Otherwise it was a plate of brownies, a plate of cornbread, and some kind of hamburger soup all sitting on the table as we sat down. What'd I do? Ate salad. Only salad. And drank a few glasses of water. Granted, I practically attacked the Atkins bar I keep in my car for emergencies... but oh my goodness I can only take so much!

Afterwards, we dropped my mom at home and since its her birthday I had to bake the birthday cake. Spice cake and cream cheese frosting. Of course, after the temptation at lunch it was especially difficult to refrain. Somehow (still not quite sure how) I got through baking, frosting, and decorating with only licking my fingers ONCE.

Then my sister came over for dinner with a box of Voodoo Doughnuts. Seriously! How much more today! Voodoo is the BEST doughnut place in Portland, its renowned far and wide in Oregon, and she brought my favorite, an oreo peanut butter combo that is bigger than my fist. I made chocolate fudge pudding, carried around my canister of whipped cream, and tried not to smell after I stuffed myself on cauliflower and steak and deviled eggs at dinner.

So even though I've avoided 3 major pitfalls I still feel like crap since I overdid it on the on plan foods. I almost wish I'd just have caved...but not enough to go eat the doughnut that the kid was given for snack tomorrow that's coated in chocolate and M&Ms.

Too much has stressed me out today so I'm turning in early once I figure how much I ate and update my food log. Back on the horse tomorrow.

Dani, avoiding the pitfalls, especially the ones described, are a big victory; pat yourself on the back for that; not everyone has that kind of strength. Tell your sister to leave that kind of stuff away from you, as it appears that she's intentionally try to sabotage your weightloss efforts. It's hard enough to drive past your favorite doughnut place, but when someone brings it to you; no; that's not right. Congrats on your strength to just say No!

Great job saying no... MAN! When God tests, he REALLY tests! I *might* need you to send me some Voodoo Donuts... saw them on a Food Network show... ;o)

Ahahaha you so funny. I pass by Voodoo every day on my way home from work. Shyguy, shes a size 0 and doesn't "get" it. Shes 5'10, maybe 120, and eats whatever she wants so how I got here and what I'm doing to not be here anymore doesn't click for her on a very elemental level. Since it was a treat for my moms birthday I know it won't happen again but if it does shes in biiiig trouble.
