I
blew it all last night. Mostly!
I
did manage almost 12,000 steps yesterday, and pulled off an okay
breakfast. A burrito from McDonald's. No sauce.
I
even picked up a veggie platter on the way to my annual writers group
Christmas party, but I started to slip by grabbing a box of chocolate
covered pretzels to check out.
REMEMBER:
If
you don't buy it, you can't eat it.
I
did manage to eat some of the veggies at the party, but also about
half the box of pretzels.
Later,
Gina and I met friends for dinner at a Mexican restaurant and I lost
it completely, starting with the chips and salsa.
At
that point the old food addiction took over. It was one chip after
another, like I hadn't eaten in days.
I
vaguely remember thinking that I should slow down, but the next chip
would erase it. By the time I emptied the bowl of chips, the main
course showed up. Each plate having enough food for at least 2
meals.
We
all commented about taking home leftovers, and everyone did, except
me.
I
stuff myself. No 1 bite, No setting down the
fort, just shoveling food in until the plate was empty.
That
big black 1
on my thumbnail might have helped, but it wasn't there. I thought I
wouldn't need, but I really should have had a 3
inch 1
on the back of each hand !
So
today, we start again, 1
bite, water and walking. And a big black 1
on the thumb.

You need to skip fast food and restaurants that do not publish calorie count next to the selections. The current crop of Mexican restaurants I've been to really load up the cheese, which I personally don't like and it really loads on the calories which makes you more likely to sit when you're done. A double whammy.
