Day 3 again

Okay so from me going back to my WW meeting on Monday, this is kind of a new day 3.  Well I have been doing pretty darn good but today I realized that I have forgotten all about my pedometer and I barely dug out my all trusty water bottle.  I like to have a 32oz water bottle to help me get my daily water in.  This tells me that I am not done reviewing what I should be doing to be completely on program. Anyhow, so I am going along and doing well but then here comes an obstacle, my mom wanted to take my family out to dinner, ugh.  Its not ugh to going out with my mom, of course not! but because I'm not sure I was ready for that because it is still very easy for me to lose control and then fall back into that ugly cycle of messing up, wanting to give up and then eating to make myself feel better.  Anyhow, let me point out, today would have been a great day to have my lists in hand!  LOL  I wish I could have pulled out my lists and said, oh lets go here and blah blah blah.... but I couldnt, there is no such list, yet.  Anyhow the family wanted to have a big dinner and they decided Claim Jumper, ohhh boyyyy.  Okay so yes I ate but I did try very very hard to keep things under control.  I managed to stay away from the soda, I love Cola's and even though I didnt pick the best thing on the menu, I did manage to control myself and only eat half my plate (thats a big deal for me) now mind you I am aware that the portion sizes at Claim Jumpers is probably 3 or 4 times what I should be eating, I still managed to eat lightly.  I was in damage control mode!  LOL  I ate only half of my servings and after I ate I tried very hard to assess how I actually felt.  Was I stuffed or satisfied?  Well after sitting for a while I comfortably realized that I probably could've stopped eating at about 2/3 of what I ate and would have been very satisfied and full, not stuffed, but a comfortable full.  So even with all of this, I feel good about my day 3.  I really do feel like I learned something new.
