Last night, we celebrated my boyfriend's 40th B-day at Olive Garden. But, don't worry, I didn't cheat! I did my research ahead of time, looking online to find out what I could have. I ended up choosing the salmon with broccolli and red peppers. And, it was really tasty! Then, came the dessert. I had got him a cake at coldstone creamery with his favorite cake batter ice cream, topped with graham cracker pieces, and crunched reeses.
How did I handle this one you ask? I planned ahead. Told myself that I don't really like that kind of ice cream anyways, so it wouldn't be a big deal. I got the smaller cake, since there was only 8 people to share it, to prevent having the leftovers in my freezer. Well, that didn't quite work out, because not everyone ate it. But, it's okay. I just told myself I bought this cake as part of his gift, so in turn it's his.
I am telling you, the things I have overcome and defeated in just 2 1/2 weeks has made me such a stronger person. I am able to just look at food and say, "I own you...you don't control me anymore!", and it is a great feeling of accomplishment.
So, to all you people who think losing weight is just about never getting to eat anything you want ever again, you are wrong. It's all about willpower until you get to a place where you can reintroduce the foods you love in smaller portions.
So, just plan ahead, and show that food who's boss!!
