March 18th - Photos/Steppin' out with my baby First things first - I've put some photos up so check them out if you like. ***** Well it's early morning on Sunday, and I am awake.  I don't particularly mind being awake given that it's Sunday, and I know exactly why I am awake.  It's because I had quite a bit to drink last night (well for me anyway).  Flopsy and I went out to a lovely restaurant for dinner to celebrate both our birthdays (last night was the mid-point between our two birthdays, and for those of you who wish to leave messages of birthday cheer - mine is this Friday the 23rd). For the first time, I went quite a bit over my points (27 points for the day), but this is OK because I really have had a pretty low point week, and feel quite happy about doing the same for the next couple of days.  I don't feel compelled to keep eating rich food - it was just a nice treat, and it was planned for.  I only had a main course and dessert, and for dessert I asked for a small helping - which the restaurant was happy to do.  I even left half of what they brought out, because it was quite rich and I'm not used to really rich food anymore.  All in all I think I managed quite well, and I'm not hung over, just had a patchy sleep which I tend to after drinking.  Flopsy and I spent the night being really focussed on one another, reflecting on our relationship, talking about different things.  It was nice that the food wasn't the central focus - which can easily happen when you eat out.  It was a fantastic night, and I am really very happy at this time in my life. Gawd, I don't 'alf sound soppy, do I?  Well, I can't be a cynical cow all the time - and what better place to show my marshmallowy underbelly (that's figurative, not literal) than in my anonymous online journal?    Just one final thing, I know I haven't put up my emotional eating thoughts yet, and that's cause I'm still working on it.  It's getting there .... really.... <<Back     Home    Next>>
