Day 6 - Plate Size

Today we went out to eat and it happened to be a buffet & I have to admit, it brought tears to my eyes - all that decadant, wonderful food, that a week prior would have found it's way into my mouth, was now only a painful tease to be stared at.  I pulled myself together, told myself over and over again how incredibly delicious vegetables are and that at the end of week 2 I will never want to make a full meal out of a couple of giant, chocolate covered peanut butter balls ever again. I now understand the "small plate" concept.  I ordered an omelet with raw veggies and checked out the other THREE tables of food and realized that was all that was going to lay on my plate.  I felt bad for it as it laid there lonely and alone. So right then and there I decided I was going to dig out an old tea set that my girls have outgrown and use those dishes from now on allowing me to have 2nds and 3rds at every meal.  I'm pretty darn excited about this. 
Tomorrow Day 7 - One full week of the exciting new chapter in my life (remember my post from yesterday - my sarcasm is on the rise).  Tuesday is the "big" weigh in day.  I think The B Team will post a combination weight loss each week since this is a team effort (unless I lose a lot more then my partner - then I will post my own).  Also, tomorrow is "Small packet of food" ordering day- I ordered 14 snacks and 7 meals - yep, I think I'm on the road to recovery!
