So..... (warning food porn involved)

the big day/big meal is over. How did we do stalker friends? I know I did just so-so. I was semi on plan and I am okay with it. I would like to point out, and please know Kristie, I say this with mucho love and respect, but when you say, "If you must have a bite or two of that 'favorite thing' you'll be surprised at how satisfying it is," I say BULLSHIT! While yes, the bite or two was scrumptious, I was not satisfied, I wanted more. TWO BITES OF STUFFING WAS NOT SATISFYING...it was torture. In fact, I made my family take all of the stuffing they thought they could possibly fathom eating, put it on their plates, I took my little 3 bite pile and then in the middle of dinner went and fed the dogs the rest of the stuffing. Happy Thanksgiving puppies, hope you liked it.
Two bites..okay three bites of the caramel drizzled pumpkin poke cake was not satisfying either...It was heavenly, in fact, it ranked right up there with anniversary sex...It was pumpkin cake with fudge and sweetened condensed milk poured into the holes, topped with cool whip and drizzled with caramel. (I did at least use lite cool whip if that counts for anything.)  I told the kids, "Not that I want you to eat nothing but cake today, but IF there is cake left when I get home from work today, there will be hell to pay."
I did stay on plan, having a chocolate chip pancake/muffin for breakfast, drank tons of water, had my cauliflower mashed fauxtatoes, green beans and turkey breast. I did have several pieces of celery and baby tomatoes with my home made crab dip, made with FF cream cheese. I did not eat anymore my meals than the one I had for breakfast, mostly because I was not hungry at all.
I did have no problem getting up this morning and whipping up my dark chocolate mocha shake. I had a bar for snack and a bag of soy crisps with my tomato soup for lunch and am feeling good. I have learned on this journey that you cannot let one or two bad decisions ruin it all. You have to get back up on that horse and ride him. I am riding for all I am worth today. (My problem today has to do with the fact that I was sent to take pictures at Julefest,.,,SURE send the one with the shopping problem to a SHOPPING EVENT...that's a BRILLIANT idea. At least I got paid my time and mileage, however, I spent what I would end up making at my first stop. Oh well, tis the season!)
