CURRENT mood: guilty…
Ok, it’s late now so I’ll make this post short. It’s my sis’ birthday today and of course, nice, big dinner at mom’s. I was concerned about this for a few days because how do I explain to mom that I won’t be having a serving of her Decadent Chocolate cake? Or my Aunt’s Super Cheezy Lasagna? Or my Dad’s personal recipe for Deep-Fried Breaded Pork Cutlets?
Anyway, I brought my NutriSystem dinner - Zesty Cajun Style Chicken and Sausage with Brown Rice. I brought this so I can impress my family with how OK the ‘diet food’ really was so that they won’t pester me all night. And guess what? I was surprised at how SUPPORTIVE they were! I swear I felt really guilty for underestimating my family’s love and support for me! We had the same great time, laughing so hard and just loving being together.
My mom heated my NutriSystem food for me and placed it on the same fancy plate we always used for family get-togethers. Even my skinny sister who would often make fun of my weight (like what normal sisters do, nothing mean!) was really sweet. I guess they saw how committed I was this time? Or maybe they saw how happy I was? I don’t know and don’t really care!
HOWEVER… the Decadent Chocolate cake. When it came out, it was sooooo beautiful and really decadent! So here’s my confession, I forgot about my NutriSystem Blueberry Lemon Dessert Bar and had a piece of mom’s Decadent Chocolate cake. My mom was so sweet because she asked me how ’small’ I wanted my piece to be 
I had a slightly smaller than normal serving and I did feel a bit guilty but you know what? I’ll get on the treadmill an extra 30 mins for that tomorrow when I go to the gym…
