An unconventional wow.
This is not a normal wow. It's not a "I lost XXX pounds" post, or a "I got into a size XX dress" post. It's not a numbers post.
But for me, it's still a significant WOW. Possibly more so.
Long story short -- I broke up with a boyfriend of 4.5 years at the end of last year. And lately he's been talking to me a lot. And it's... not pleasant sometimes. Not that he's mean to me, but he's hurt by the whole situation, and that sucks.
I've always been a stress eater, and today I came home from work early. I was making some eggface bites cuz I was running out of time on some mushrooms, and arguing with him put me in the "have to eat" phase. I thought I had been doing pretty well about controlling it, but today I didn't.
I concocted a delicious horrible for you, non-WLS friendly comfort food: Breaded fresh mozzarella on fried whole-grain lasagna noodles with marinara sauce. I was salivating the entire time I was making it, couldn't WAIT for it to solve all of my life's problems.
About the time it was finishing up cooking, my bites came out of the oven, and I tried one. Very good.
And then I tried my concoction.
Not good at all.
I never thought I'd get to the day where good for you food actually tasted BETTER than the junk food. I've been able to deal fairly well with protein and such but always have still kind of idolized chips and ice cream. And then I get to today, where they just don't taste good anymore.
HOW COOL IS THAT?!?!?!
This isn't a poor me post. Don't get me wrong. This is a "I fell FLAT on my face and GOT BACK UP" post.
And I'm excited about that.
