Yikes! Part 2

First off, circus was fantastic. My two children had so much fun and family time was very much in need. I have a slight fear of clowns and was not even bothered by them tonight when I saw how much my 3 year old son just LOVED the clowns. As I stated under Yikes! Part 1 I went to the circus with 1 point remaining for the day. I made a decision during the show with cotton candy sitting next to me that I was going to have some and enjoy myself and the festivities without sitting there and concentrating so hard about food. So, I had some. Not ALL of it, but some.

And you know what happened? Nothing. I had a wonderful guilt free night. Because I know that was an unusual circumstance and most likely not going eat cotton candy for at least another year or more or possibly ever. Then we went to the diner for dinner. I figured that I have to eat because I was hungry, but not starving because lunch really did carry me a long way. Sensibly I ordered a salad and grilled chicken with oil and vinegar on the side.

Here's the next big step I made today. I then came home and pointed out the cotton candy and salad and guess what? I only went of 8 points for the day. And even then, those 8 points were pulled from a group of extra weekly points that I haven't even touched yet.

Today I feel like a winner. I had some bigger point meals throughout one day than I have in fours weeks. I enjoyed my food, but did not ABUSE it. I did not overeat at any meal, I pointed all my food out, and I had fun with my family. It was a wonderful day all around.
