Hunger

I'm hungry! Tonight was our company Christmas party and thinking ahead I ate low calorie food during the day (oatmeal for breakfast, and orange for snack, salad - no dressing for lunch, carrots for a snack in the afternoon). I wanted to leave enough room to have what I wanted for dinner (within reason). We had it at Jillian's. I'd never been there, but I looked over their menu yesterday so that I could plan what I would allow myself. Of course, it never occured to me that the meal was already planned for us! They served shrimp cocktail and and a salad. Our main course consisted of baked chicken, two types of pasta - one with a red sauce and one with a white sauce, 2 mini cheese pizza's and steamed veggies.

Shrimp Cocktail - Didn't even try them. I'm not a big shrimp fan unless it 1) fried or 2) grilled with a piece of bacon wrapped around it.

The Salad - It consisted of lettuce and tomato with a choice of 2 dressings (neither of which I liked, so for the 2nd time in one day - I had salad - with no dressing!).

The Chicken - cooked with skin on it and it consisted of a thigh and a leg. I pulled the skin off and left the leg alone. Of the thigh I ate 2 bites (there wasn't a lot of meat....I really think that the person next to me got part of my chicken! LOL). So at the most - 2 ounces.

The Pasta - I ate one noodle from each type. Both were very bland and not worth wasting calories on.

The Veggies - Squash, broccoli and cauliflower. Ewww, Ewwwwww and Ewwwwwwwwww! Even the folks who like these so called vegetables didn't eat them!

The Mini Cheese Pizzas - They were ok, but I limited myself to one. It was about 1-1/2" around so in my calories I counted it as half a slice of pizza.

The Rolls - Straight from a package, only cut in half to make it go further! Hard as a rock!! Still I did take a bite of one hoping that it would be edible.

So here it is, after 10. My stomach is growling!!! But it's too late to eat anything else so I'm just going to sit back and anticipate a good breakfast in the morning!

I'm going to hit the sack.


P.S. I was up another pound this morning. I'm really starting to get that little tingling feeling that comes right before I have a complete food meltdown!!! I'm sure I'll be better in the morning though. At this point all I can think about is the barbeque chicken breast that I had planned on ordering tonight BEFORE I found out I had no voice in the matter!!!
