I just got back into town.
Upon arrival at the hotel I was told that the wives had a shopping outing planned for the next day . I skipped breakfast with everyone, lied during lunch (while I watched them eat some of my favorite foods) and said I had a big breakfast and was saving my appetite for dinner. Then, that thing we women do actually happened (I Promise Mike), while ordering drinks I was the last to order, I ordered Unsweet Tea - one of the women went "You've hardly eaten all day, are you dieting?, You are being so good and making us all look bad", I sooooo had to control my leer!
So, now all eyes on the table are on me because I am dieting. There was a brief moment of panic, but then I said yes, "Yes, my whole life has been a perpetual diet, nothing new for me, I am just watching calories and sweet tea is pure sugar, so I will use artifical and save some that way. I was trying to make them feel so guilty that they would not bother me anymore for fear I would point out other things they were eating and drinking that were not good for them.
I skipped the bread & appetizers (urghhhhhh ) and then ordered Blackened Talipia and fresh veggies. I ate about half of the fish (it was so hard to stop) and 3 florets of steamed broccli.
I survived, but the women did notice and did make a big deal of it! I was able to get out of the next days events so I was 'shakin' it all day.
Came back and down 2 pounds so I suppose I did ok.
