Is that willpower peaking out from under there?

Okay I have to write at this late hour because I feel like I overcame a small milestone today. Did I mention I was starting the South Beach diet today…AGAIN. Well, after our bible study meeting that we have on Mondays, we usually go to Friendly’s and get ice cream and a small dinner with the kids. Tonight we even went with friends, which makes me uncomfortable in saying “no” to food because I get the “why do you want to lose weight” looks (in Spanish at that). My kids got French fries, ice cream, mac and cheese, hamburgers. I watched my husband do what I usually do which is pick off of everyone’s plate and clean up. But I got a salad and realized halfway through that I was full, took large gulps of water, and didn’t eat one French fry, no mac and cheese, not even a nibble of hamburger. I will confess I had one bite of ice cream with a couple of sprinkles and one Reese pieces piece, but that was it. Phew, I made it. One day down…a lifetime to go.
