Short and Simple

I went out to dinner last nite for Nick's hockey banquet ... I was a bit nervous but I did watch what I ate all day and had a bag of popcorn (1 POINT ) before... so I ate the salad with really yummy dressing.. took a bite of Jenna's roll roast beef and mashed potatoes and steamed veges.. all in all it was a good healthy dinner.. I didnt eat all of mashed potatoes or beef... I drank lots of water and when dessert came I said NO thanks... I had coffee with creamer and when Duane was done with his dessert I ate his last bite and that was enough!!!! So I really didnt feel denied at all.

Today I was hungry this morning ... not sure if by watching what I ate so carefully made a difference but I did work thru it.. had a banana.. yougart... handful of cheerios... some pretzels.. healthy choices...

Dinner I had made a pot of chili before my new eating plan but I had a ladel full along with 3/4 cups of noodles and a salad... it filled me up .. it is amazing looking back but before I probably ate 4 cups of noodles and 3 ladels of chile with crackers.. hmmm wonder what that says ..???

I am excited to meet with Nicole tomorrow and go over my answers from my workbook on the first step.. I am feeling such a relief it is so wonderful.. the answer that I have been looking for is OA.. and I feel everything is falling in place.. God is helping me find my path.. I am sure he has been pointing me to the path for years but I must have had blinders on.. so I thank you Lord for having patience and faith in me.. Till tomorrow ... One Day at A Time..
