Today I went Applebee's restaurant. I wanted to stay the course, and not derail all my hard work or waste the money it cost to join Weight Watchers. I did a little internet homework before leaving the house, and when in the restaurant, I chose a peppercorn steak meal for about 400 calories. I drank a Coke Zero and had no dessert. I think I did well. My stomach seemed to think differently.
It seemed to be thinking, "Hey wait a minute, we're not done yet!" That comes from being used to eating more, and having something sweet after the meal, even if it's just a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I ignored the stomach. We had our drinks poured into Styrofoam cups and headed for the art show.
I had a couple of small artworks in the show, but the most prominent thing to my eyes was the table of cookies, cake, dip, and more. I had a small dish of fruit and that was all. My prayer is that I can continue in this vein of good behavior. The Bible says to resist the devil and he will flee from you. I can't remember reading anything in there about cookies.
