Wow - this is fun! A nighttime post. Haven't ever done that but I just HAD to tell you all how AMAZING Dave Matthews was last night - it was like heaven!!!
We had a perfect group - 5 of us - and our seats that I got through an agent friend were in the front section in a great box. A few minutes after we got ourselves situated and started pouring the wine, my sister and I notice our two best friends from when I was 8 walking down the aisle right next to us. We knew they would be there but didn't know where they were sitting and out of all the thousands and thousands of seats? They were sitting RIGHT NEXT TO US. It was seriously insane and we all became screaming hyenas when we saw eachother - I mean, seriously! HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN???
I also had another friend of mine in the box right behind us so I almost felt like it was my party and my boyfriend Dave just happened to be the performer.
Of course the music was AMAZING, the setlist was great (he played Satellite!), the people were great, and C had an awesome time. Great time had by all.
After the concert let out and we got to our car, we realized that it would be a while before getting out of the lot due as it was stacked parking. The whole time we were sitting there, C and I were fantasizing about pizza. Sure enough, at 12:15, we were picking up MASSIVE N.Y. style pizza slices and chowing down - right before I fell asleep.
Needless to say, I woke up feeling like a fat pig and upset at myself. See, I have a total love/hate relationship with food. I think about it all the time, look forward to yummy meals or sweets, love to eat it, but anytime I eat badly or a large amount (which is happening way too often lately with the parties and birthdays and entertaining going on), I feel sick and disgusted with myself in the mirror and pictures.
Yes, I know I am a little dysmorphic when it comes to the way I look. But I also know that eating a 30 foot pizza last thing before bed doesn't help at all. So I woke up this morning and told myself that until the weekend I am on a STRICT diet. By diet I mean NO chocolate, candy, large portions, extra cheese, etc. I will only eat lean cuisines or small salads with a little protein. And for dessert (because I don't know about you all but I NEEEEEEEED something sweet after every meal! Is it just me because now I feel like a fat pig!!! Just something sweet!!!), I will stick to fruit or an occasional 90 calorie Special K bar.
Today, so far, the plan has worked, although it is now 8:13 and I am jonesing for something chocolatey and I just happen to have some reese's peanut butter cups in my freezer... but NO! I will eat watermelon!!
I am also going to allow myself to eat however I want on the weekends because how will I survive at the sports bar on Sundays without chips and guac???
mmmmm.... chocolate.
