Some good, some bad

After the workout this morning, one of the guys handed out homemade chocolate chip cookies to the group. He was bragging about how he (not his wife) made them and I felt bad refusing one, so I took it. I immediately put it away and didn't eat it. That was a success! But I couldn't throw it out. I took it to work with me where it sat on my desk. The entire day!!! I should have thrown it away... but at least I didn't eat it.

As a "compromise", around 4 pm when I really started thinking about eating the cookie, I had some seeds instead. Too many, but again, at least the cookie remained uneaten.

Tonight was a dinner out with the girls. I was very concerned about this since I didn't want people commenting about how I eat. I don't know why I care! No one should care about what I eat. I had an interesting discussion with a close guy friend before I went. I asked if he ever thought about what he ordered at a restaurant when out with people and if he ever felt socially pressured to eat a certain way. Nope, he said. What is my problem?

I didn't choose the best item -- I know I had way too much salt today, and I did cave and have some french fries. I feel like I am always saying this, but it could have been worse... could have ordered a real burger with blue cheese dressing, fries, and a Coke, which is what one gal had... oh and a brownie sundae with ice cream!
