Oh sweet chocolate...why must you be so tempting?
So today my will power was put to the test. To begin with, we went to my husband's company picnic. This was a catered event so immediately we were welcomed by mounds of delicious looking food calling my name. BBQ ribs, hamburgers, herb rolls, corn on the cob dripping with butter, and of course a pile of cookies that threatened to seduce me with each velvety chocolate bite. But I am happy to say I was strong! I kept my portions small, avoided the saturated fats, and had only half a cookie. =)
But temptation finds a way. After a trip to the amazing Whole Foods grocery store, where I was surrounded by wine, organic chocolates, various cheeses, and more, I was really feeling the hunger pains. (I know...I'm a drama queen when it comes to my food, but omg! Whole Foods grocery...organic goodie heaven!) However, there was little relief with dinner when we went to my in-law's house and were fed lasagna, garlic butter bread, and chocolate pudding pie. I tried my best to keep my portions low, but when your mother-in-law takes any rejection of her food as a personal insult...well....you learn to make room in your already bursting belly.
I can't say that my diet is starting off on a strong foot, but I'm trying. Baby steps for my baby.
