Small victories - big rewards - Day 3
Yesterday was day 3 on PP for me. My girlfriend and I had made arrangements to go for lunch weeks ago. She was gracious when I asked if we could change the location from the sushi place (aaaaaaaaaaaaaallll that rice!) to the Cajun place.
Disappointment met me when the waitress said there was no more chicken ceasar left. A scan of the menu had me in a tizzy. Nothing was legal. In desperation I ordered a philly beef with a side of salad greens.
When the meal came I was in heaven. Ohhh that bun. (bread is my weakness) It was warm. It was white. It was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. I lifted the lid piece to my nose for a whiff of warm delicious bread. Just one whiff wouldn't hurt. Then I turned to my girlfriend and said, " I could eat this, or I could just apply it directly to my hips." She giggled as I scraped the shaved beef, gooey cheddar, onions and green peppers onto the plate, put both pieces of bun on the teacup saucer, and moved the saucer to the other side of the table, out of my reach.
Thank you all for your quiet support and encouragement. While I haven't posted except in the Introductions forum, I've been reading the boards and watching everyone else's victories and disappointments. This is a caring and helpful group. When the newness of this lifestyle change becomes more comfortable, and I discover simple ways to deal with meals (I hate planning and cooking from recipes. I HATE cooking but love eating) I hope to be able to share tips and help with you, instead of sponging for info. :-)
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!
