Feeling Happy
Saturday's Drive by entry
Well this is going to be a quicky entry Today I have to get ready for a big dinner tonight , it seems our oldest has decided it is time that we ,her parents, get to know her new boyfriend better , so tonight at a local restaurant we will be playing the role of
I am not sure if I am the Robert Deniro character or not , I am trying really hard to be on my best behavior and gives this kid aka man (he is 24 she is 20 ) a chance. I have met him in passing but we haven't really got a chance to talk or really get to know him..
Hubby is in Father of the bride mode , he keeps saying "what are you going to do if he pops out a ring?" this is too serious for him " what are you going to do if he wants to take her away ?" do you get the what are you going to do's here . I sure got them I finally told him I am going to be honest with them and give the boy aka man a chance .
When the goddaughters brought the young men in their life home it was the same way I thought it was because he was not their real father,and will to be honest me and their mother never really let anyone discipline our girls because we were on a mission to protect them after what their own fathers had done. But hubby has been there thru out our children's life so I was not only surprised but somewhat disappointment at his reaction .
The one thing I love about my weight loss plan is I don't have to worryabout eating out tonight I have had a light breakfast and we will be eating early so I can eat half at the restaurant and bring the rest home and have a late dinner if I get hungry latter or not I can save it till tomorrow.. the is one thing I have had to learn as a fat girl trying to get skinny is that I don't have to clean the plate there is always latter..
I thought since we were eating out tonight I would use these tips that I use to help me stay on track and list them here
1) I got to the web site of the restaurant if they have one before I go and pick the low calorie meals. planning is key when eating out.
2) I don't drink my calories either I usually order a ice tea for the meal with sweetner.
3) I eat half at the restaurant and I bring the rest home.
Losing weight to me is a symptom of living a healthy life I am trying to find a healthier life style that I can live the rest of my life , and it is a trial error game I win sometimes , I lose sometimes, but mostly I am finding a healthy me.... Emotionally, Mentally,Physically.I hope you all enjoy taking the ride with me,because I enjoy having you here.
Remember we can do this
because we are worth it!
Have a great Saturday

Good luck with the BF. Oh and he better NOT be popping out a ring...HELL NO. 20 is WAY TO YOUNG...lol (i know from my own experience!!)

I hope your dinner went well (I am once again behind in my reading, sorry). I used to hate that part of dating someone, the awkward parent introductions!!! I like the idea of eating half at the resturant and bringing the other half home.

i'm witing to hear how the get to know the b/f session goes. i believe in giving them a fair shake first. DH is 6 years older than me & we met when I was 20, he's the best thing to ever happen to me. Good luck. Emmi
