Fat Tuesday

Today is Mardi Gras, or Fat Tueday to some.  Really?  I have lived as Fat Tuesday for many years...now I want lean Tuesday!  In our teachers lounge at work there were about 50 desserts...no kidding...homemade and looking quite appetizing.  I had to go out of my way so as not to be tempted.  Finally I broke down and had a piece of banana bread.  I thought it was the most healthy choice.  I only ate a few bites and tossed the rest...it was REALLY good!  I don't feel guilty either!  I could have done much worse...like eat one of everything!  However, I resisted and made a healthy choice. 

I am not feeling full like I thought I would.  I am measuring my amounts to eat at each meal and making sure I don't over do it, but I am constantly hungry.  It is really like it used to be for me.  I am hungry and feeling frustrated and wanting to eat!  I called the doctor today to see if I could get a fill sooner, no one was in today though.  I just don't want to feel hungry.  It seems like I can eat anything I want, even though I haven't.  Like over the weekend we went to a banquet and they served the biggest hunk of prime rib I have ever seen!  I ate what I though to be one serving and pushed the rest aside, but I think I could have eaten the entire piece and not felt full.  However, I have not had a fill yet and I think that might help.  We will see! 

The good news is that I have learned portion control and eating healthy, no sugar, low fat foods.
