If ever there was a time for some emotional eating it was this weekend. I took to the bottle instead. Just kidding - I only had 2 drinks and I used diet tonic. Plus lots of lime so it was almost a serving of fruit.
I had to put my sweet old dog to sleep on Saturday morning, so it was a tearful weekend and I treated myself with a couple of cocktails and a 6 oz New York Steak. I had popcorn and mango for lunch. It was a strange day.
On Sunday my husband wanted to get out of the house - he was missing her tippy taps across the floor - I had a hamburger for lunch at a local spot with a nice patio. I don't happen to like cheese on my burger, just mustard and tomato and the bun was "whole wheat." I am sure it wasn't the healthiest choice in the world, but it tasted like a treat and now I have had my red meat for the month.
I still haven't bought a new scale and the digital one suggests I am down another pound. Not too much damage done. Except to our hearts.
I'm so very sorry, Susan. I'll keep you in my thoughts during this very difficult time....
ReplyDeleteWhile I know that you are working on your physical health, you have to stop and take care of your mental and emotional well-being too. If lunch out with your husband helped you get through a rough day, then that's just what you need to do.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your loss.
