so i was worried about the temptation to eat lotsa good food at the baby shower i went to today. my co-worker's family are all good cooks so i knew i would be entering the danger zone. after breakfast and 2 snacks, i managed to save 850 calories for the party. and while i have no idea what my actual caloric intake was, i think i fared very well.
i ate 1 samosa. HALF a vegetarian tamale. 1 breaded veggie stick. a small slice of a veggie flatbread thing. and a very small glass of pinot noir.
NO CAKE! and it was tres leches cake! NO cookies! and they were homemade! NO truffles or candy. and NO champagne.
while i was no angel, I did a LOT better than i thought i would. i was definitely tempted to indulge on account of it being a "special occasion". but i knew i would feel worse about cheating. the food was good, but not THAT good :) ya know? is there any food that is worth it? probably, but not now that the wedding is a mere 6 weeks ago. plus i just really really need to prove to myself that i can do this. that i haven't lost all control over myself.
