more than just talking about it

Last night was date night. I had my dinner all planned out. 2 quesadillas at this Mexican restaurant I love, movie before. I ate lunch at noon and planned to grab some grapes for the show, only I forgot. So there I was @ 3:30 headed to a movie theater, no dinner until 7:00 and hungry. What could I possibly eat? Popcorn, no butter? Pretzel? Then I got this idea that if I could find a subway, I could get some apples. So we got our movie tickets with lots of time to spare so Steve and drove around for 15 mins looking for a subway and found one! With my apples in hand, we went to the show. Funny thing, I didn't even eat 1/2 of them. Once I got them and the panic over "what can I eat" was over, I was fine. This whole thing is so mental. I even managed to skip the chips at the table! My quesadillas were awfully greasy, so it's a good thing I was well behaved on the other fronts.

And of course tonight is temptation #2. We are going to the horse races (free dinner passes) and dinner. It's a B...U...F...F...E...T!!!! I am just going to eat on plan during the day and make the best choices I can and not stress. These "temptations" are never going to go away, so I need to start learning to handle them!!!
