Anniversary Dinner

My husband and I celebrated our 29th anniversary yesterday.  We went to our favorite fancy restaurant.  I dressed up in my new 1X clothes (I was barely fitting into 5x last year). 

I had a glass of wine, the first since starting my diet last January.  I only drank about 1/3 of it. I was pleased to find I really don't miss alcohol.  I was concerned about transfer addiction, as I used to drink a fair amount of wine.  So I'm pleased that I could have a little and not feel deprived or overdo it.

We had a wonderful evening.  I had a salad and a rack of lamb.  I enjoyed every bite, and brought 2/3 of it home for today. 

I wondered how I'd do with special events like this that are so centered around food and abundance of food and drink.  But it was perfect even with the 3 ounce portions!  I feel so hopeful for a future of normal eating. 

Life is good.
