True Confessions

Of an over-dramatic over-eater? Yep. Pretty much.

So I want to write down what I've been up to so that I can both see and change it, and so I can memorialize its awesomeness. Sick? Probably.

So, here's a victory. Part of the reason my daily nutrition blog has been not so daily is that I was closing out the school year. Always a busy time of year...and usually a stress filled time of weight gain. For a number of years I was gaining weight at the end of the school year and at the beginning a few months later. NOT good for dress fitting. Anyhow this time I managed to only gain weight right after school was out. Or maybe I'm just bloated. Who would know.

Anyhow, on Friday I ate at the Black Star Coop with the Duchess. I ordered a shrimp aguachile appetizer...but it came with bread and I ate it. Then had mucho dranks with her.

Saturday included my friend Laura's wedding rehearsal. I ordered the salmon dish, but the people next to me left before dinner, so I ate some of their frites and steak. Hmm...seems like I'm better at ordering than eating. I also ate Amy's ice cream in flavor "the dude" since it was their special dessert. How could I not?! Seriously.

Sunday was her wedding and it was awesome in all ways. Here's some stuff about the food: Passed apps like catfish bites and shrimp crisp deliciousness and eggrollish stuff. I drank some dranks. There were many lovely choices for dinner; I chose the snapper, which was delicious, but I'm pretty sure the cream sauce did me in. Or was it the cake or cookies? Doesn't matter, I have no regrets, but its important to remember that was special occassion eating...and right now isnt special.

Monday was special though. To memorialize fallen solidiers I had to have a cookout at my house...and eat all the gelato and sausages and potato salad.

That would have been fine, but I also ate inappropriately on Tuesday, and today I finished the gelato so that I wouldn't have to worry about it tomorrow. I feel sluggish and inflammed, and I plan to end it tomorrow. Dammit.
