We all know what we should do!
Eat little
Eat often
Eat green
Eat three meals a day and nothing in-between.

Portion your
Carbs
Fats
Vegetables and
Proteins.
On a small sectional dinner plate.
Designed for your ease, alerting you to how much you ate!

A smorgasbord it is not!

It's restrictive and brings no joy. It is not the equivalent of a board game, book, or toy.

One night out with friends, and the plan is forgotten.
I will have garlic mushrooms and cheesy bread to start.
We order a bottle of sauvignon blanc.
For mains, of course, it's has to be battered fish and chips for me.
Ooh, and that chocolate cake is looking too temptingly.

As friends, we are in this together, and we all agree it's just this one time, as we order another bottle of wine.

The next morning, I step on the scale and wail. "How did that happen? It was just one time. One piece of cake, one glass of wine."

Vowing to myself to get back on track.
I open up my food app.
I record my
Carbs
Vegetables
Fats and Proteins
Determined to become slender and lean.
Make myself fit into that new pair of jeans.
Today begins a new day.
And that is pretty much all I have to say.
