dear god, the super bowl isn't so super

ugh. although i had THE best time last night for our super bowl party. i am totally regretting my food choices this morning. 3.8 lbs i gained. AHHH. definitely NOT worth it. i even said that as i was gorging my face. mr. rosewater did do an amazing job on the food, but i should have just stuck with my 500 little cals. AND, who has a "cookie table" at their party when they are trying to lose weight? yep, i do. because i am insane. i could blame that one on pittsburgh because apparently they have a cookie table at large events, such as weddings (the super bowl is a large even like a wedding right?). i thought that it would put a nice touch on my themed food party of everything wisconsin/pennsylvania. oh it was a nice touch alright, a nice 3.8 lb touch. boo to the cookie table.

and the thing is, is this. i have enough self control. i know this, because i am in my head and i am overly motivated to lose weight. but i said, forget this, i am going to eat whatever i want at the super bowl party and take the consequences. so, i knew this was coming. and i accepted it before the fact. but now looking back it was so dumb. i could have woken this morning down another lb and thought, amazing party with fab friends. AND i stuck to my plan. so god, i have cried and whined about it. and i am moving on. did i learn something? yes, yes i did. i learned that food themed parties are amazing and fun. but they are also a ton of work AND fattening. and i have to remember this moment of disgust (yes, disgust) that i indulged and NOT do it again. i can have the out of sight themed food party, but i have to set limits.

ok. on to my day. thank you god, for listening and not being too tough. and thank you super bowl buddies. that really was a fun time. i loved every minute of it. please remember that we did discuss an academy award night (with only popcorn). so save that date. by the way...who won the super bowl anyway? :)

love, your 500 calorie eating friend, pepper
