My First Test

Well I had my first bill-power (also known as will power) test last night and I am not sure if I passed. Last night I was meeting my daughters for dinner and since eating out during the week is always a major hurdle for my taste buds this was going to be a major obstacle to overcome. The eating part is actually easy, the eating healthy part is where I generally fail. Anyway since Danielle was going to be there along with Mandy, it didn’t look like that hard of a task since Danielle only eats at the pizza place or a diner and at both places I can get a (kind of) decent tasting balsamic salad with grilled chicken without feeling too deprived. However Danielle abandoned us to meet some dude (can you imagine that?) and that actually left Mandy and me with the strange opportunity to eat at anyplace we wanted. With this rare opportunity there was no way that we were going to eat pizza or at a diner. So in honor Cinco De Mayo we ran as fast as we could (just in case Danielle dumped the guy) to Café Espanol in Hewlett where I had paella valenciana and Mandy had some unrecognizable Spanish vegetarian dish. Now I know I should have followed her lead but there is a limit to my own billpower. Now the question is did I fall off the wagon or was this a successful meal out? So I will let my many followers be the judge of that.

Well I just heard from Suuue who recorded the first and only opinion on this most important issue. She actually gave me a positive grade although clearly that was not her intention. Needless to say she could have gone with the being proud of your incredible will power line but unfortunately she chose the expected well if you wouldn’t have eaten like a pig for so many years you could have eaten whatever you liked line. But positive feedback is a good thing so I will just ignore her minor negativity here.
