Ok - I hope I feel better after this. I met my boyfriend on Thurday night 1/2 between our two locations (he's in toronto - i'm in maryland). We can't be together for Valentine's day so this was our celebration of V-day. The first night was fine - even though we went to an italian resturant - i didn't eat any bread, had a good salad and had baked chicken. Didn't TOUCH the desert he ordered. Then on Friday - when we got back from driving around all afternoon - there was roses, chocolate and champagne in the room - OH he is the sweetest man in the world - and he just really wanted to surprise me .... I thought if i could make it without touching the chocolate and only having a small bit of the bubbly - i'd be fine ... but he was so excited and wanted me to open the chocolate (begium at that!) ... one piece lead to another lead to another. I felt so sick!
But to make it worse - when we went to dinner that night i couldn't handle the craving for bread (thanks to that darn chocolate)! This morning I trashed the rest of the chocolates and decided that I would have to have a talk with the man.
This isn't one of those situations where he is trying to sabotage my diet - he just wasn't really aware that i was on the diet since i didn't get back on it until we were in this long distance relationship - when we were practically living together last year - i wasn't "really" on this diet .... i was more on maintainance.
Anyway - I'm back on my own - and we are only together every two weeks - so I'll have to be prepared the next time we are together.
Thanks for listening - i do feel better :-)
