Oops I Did it Again

I woke up this morning positively elated at what the scale had to tell me.  Elated, I tell you!  It was a number I hadn’t seen since Spring of 2009.  I bounced into work and bounced through a meeting and then bounced on up the highway where I was having my annual physical.  My doctor was thrilled too.  I am down a full 11 pounds since last March.  Word up!

I felt so good when I left there that I decided to treat myself to an 11 point kids meal at CFA.  I hadn’t had fries in a while and I had been fasting all day so I earned it, yo.  I wolfed it down in the car and then bounced right on in back to work.

Then I remembered the Chinese New Year celebration my department was having.  Complete with drums, dancing dragons and dim sum.  Dim sum?!?

Do you know how much I love dim sum?  I haven’t had it in forever and I’ve been craving it.  Someone actually had it catered in from a local restaurant.  Pure evil, I tell you.

I practically knocked people down to get in line.  Everything was hot and served with a smile.

This is what I walked away with.  Those pieces were HUGE.  Sorry, I forgot to snap a pic halfway through my steamed vegetable dumping.  I didn’t eat the steamed bun (the big white thing).  Guilt had set in by the time I got to it.

So I need to account for those points.  I might not be able to eat the rest of the day.  I’m going to be so sad if I get on the scale tomorrow and the number goes UP.

    you are not a number on the scale, you are more than that, you are an inteligent, capable, beautifal woman, fabulous mother and good friend to many, regardless of where that arrow finally comes to rest on the scale tomorrow.

    What Jamie said! So stay off the scale after you know you’ve gone overboard. Wait a few days until you’re back on your plan and then weigh yourself.

    Ignore the scale for a couple of days; better yet just look in the mirror and see what everyone else sees; I’ve seen you in person and let me tell you, you’re one hot little mama!

  4. I can sooo relate to this, thank God I don’t have to go into the office. They stayed with fatty food at my last position. Side note, I woulda smashed that steamed dumpling though. Yes, Lawd!
