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.

    Each day gets easier fending off all of the 'good' food that's so delicious! Great Job and wonderful self control! Keep it up~~
