I had not one, but TWO desserts tonight. First we ate out at Rumbi’s. It’s SOOOooo yummy. I checked out the points beforehand and decided on the Carribbean Salad. According to DWLZ it is 16.5 points. I ate most of it, but only half the dressing

and none of the rice. I counted 14 points to be safe. So then we had their FABULOUS key lime pie. I wanted a whole slice, but limited myself to 1/2. I am not sure the exact points on that, but counted it as 5.

Later we went to the city fireworks. We brought the mutt along. It’s the first time Indy has been to Fireworks and he did not like them. Poor thing - shook like a leaf the whole time. He seems to have recovered nicely though. Well, so we’re driving home and hubby says, let’s get ice cream. So we pull into a fast food place and I ordered the small Hot Fudge Sundae. This place is local, so no nutritional info, but I counted 7 points because that’s what McD’s sundae is.

Two desserts in one night. Definitely more than I needed or planned, but I used my weekly points and will spend the rest of my weekend guilt free.

I’m still fat? Does anyone else have those moments when you look in the mirror and go - “OHMYGOSH, I’m still fat?!?” I think I allow myself to get into these moments of euphoria because the scale says I’m down 12+ lbs and some of my clothes are fitting again and I’m down a belt loop. But then it hits me that I’m still overweight. It’s like a reality check that says - yeah, you’ve lost some weight, but you’re still fat and you have a ways to go.

Yesterday I was shopping online for a bathing suit (Hawaii countdown 45 days! ) and was so disappointed that according to one site, I am still a PLUS size. GRRrrr…. I was mad because this cute suit I wanted (called a shortini LOL) only came in the regular sizes. I know I can’t expect too much too soon, but I can’t wait for the weight loss to catch up to catch up with my deluded mind that tells me I’m getting thin. sigh…

Anyhoo, I haven’t taken my measurements or a photo since the last week of May. I was going to do it monthly, but I’m a few days overdue. TOM came on the date I planned to do pictures and measurements, but I didn’t feel like doing it when I felt bloated. I’ll do it on July4th and post the (*hopefully encouraging*) results. Sorry for the rant. Have a great OP day!
