My church had our Valentine's Day dinner lastnight at a really good Italian restaurant. I ate way too much!!!
I ordered the grilled chicken breast for my entree but along with the entree they bring you salad (drenched in oil & vinegar), italian garlic bread (the best I've ever eaten), olives, peppers, munster cheese, spaghetti, ravioli and meat balls. Well, you know I had to sample all of it! I did really bad with the bread. Oh and I stole a shrimp from my brother in law.
There was one great thing that happened though. For those that have read my post about my ex fiance and how we're talking and working on things. He went to the dinner with me and came over to pick me up. Well, lastnight I got dressed and decided to wear some slacks and a top that are pretty form fitting. A long ways from my jeans, oversize t-shirt and sneakers that I wear almost every day. When he walked in the door his eyes got real wide and was like "you're so beautiful", you look so skinny and sexy" Well, of course that made me feel awesome. I could really tell that he was knocked out.
Then when we got to the restaurant I got several compliments about how good I looked. Now, understand, I don't think I look that great, yet. I'm 5'4 and weigh 170 lbs, to me that is a long way from me being skinny but I do know that the diet and exercise is paying off and I can't wait to shed even more and get to my goal!!!! I'm so motivated now!
So, in a way it was a bad night because I over ate but it was also a good night for my self esteem.
