Almost "officially"summer.....is warm enough, for sure, has been over 90 all week....

Last night was a big family get together to celebrate several graduations....foodwise it was a challenge....I knew they were having lasagna and a green salad...and I took a gigantic fresh fruit platter...but it turned out the lasagna had sausage in it which upsets my stomach so I only  ate a little bit....and the salad was loaded with raw onions and cilantro,neither of which I can eat....so I ate a lot of fruit...a couple pieces of sourdough cheese toast....and I had dessert- cheesecake and ice cream, weird combination but they always have ice cream with cheesecake....now, this was the first sugary dessert I've had since starting this program a month ago...and, honestly,could have done without it. It tasted OK but nothing special....I probably could have easily passed it up but I was hungry since I couldn't fill up on salad....I had planned on eating lots of salad. Had I known what it was going to be, I would have eaten salad here at home first...oh,well....I don't eat many meals away from home so luckily problems like I had last night don't happen very often..

Having dessert hasn't really affected me that much today...I have been a little hungrier than normal but not too bad....and don't have any crazy urge to binge or eat everything in sight...just right back on track, eating my healthy food....tomorrow, I'm going scrapbooking from 2-9 pm and will go for Chinese food for dinner...that will be a treat...
