A Family Gathering
Family gatherings are never good for weight loss for me. Most of my family is overweight and the food at these events is almost always unhealthy. So, today was my nieces 6th birthday party. My husband and I never miss the kids’ birthday parties so that certainly wasn’t an option. However, we talked it over last night and made a plan. We decided about an hour before the party we would go to Subway and have a 6 inch healthy sub as well as taking with us to the party a bottle of iced tea. I am happy to report that I did not eat a thing while at the party.
It is important to note that I love to eat and it was hard not to grab a french fry or eat just a small piece of ice cream cake. Man, I do love ice cream cake. The event is over and for this time we were successful, I am hoping with some planning and forsight, family gatherings will no longer be an eating issue for me.
