Day Five

Dear Diary,

Well, Day 5 is done and gone. It wasn't the best day I've had this week, but it also wasn't the worst. The stress at work was unbelievable. Anyone who has taken a week vacation knows how awful the last day before you leave can be, trying to make sure all of your work is caught up. I don't wish that on my worst enemy. I didn't go and grab a soda like I usually do when I'm stressed. I also didn't try and grab any kind of food to make it better. One small step to becoming a thin person with normal eating habits.

As far as the food that I did eat goes, it wasn't all too bad. I had my frozen breakfast, and my frozen lunch, nothing to really write home about. But, as day 5 happened to fall on a Friday, and on a payday Friday at that, I did have a different kind of test put on me.

Yes, I went out to eat at a restaurant for dinner. We went to Applebee’s, which I haven't been to in at least eight years, and as I am sitting there and watching the rest of my family order ribs, and chicken tenders, and oh so many French fries all around, I pick chicken. Grilled chicken to be exact. It was a lime fiesta chicken with some brown rice, and it was AWESOME! (Please also note that the only person in my family that knows I am on this “diet” is my brother, and that’s only because we are roommates)

So the day ended with my totals a little higher than normal, right at about 1350 calories. But I take that as a win, and there isn't anything you can do about that. Also my trip to the restaurant brought about another issue that I have as a bigger person, and it is going to be my reason 3.

Restaurant Booths…

Nothing is more embarrassing than to not fit in a restaurant booth, and have to have your size 5 aunt pull the table closer to her so that you can fit your fat ass into it. Who the hell thought of the idea to make a booth at a restaurant so damn small in a country that has so so many fat people? I will never know. So a great reason to lose 100 pounds is to easily fit into any damn booth you want.

1 more tiny note before I end this here. My brother has decided that after watching me totally kick ass this week, he is going to join me in my frozen diet next week. Now I get to see how he reacts to the same restrictions that I have had to endure. **insert evil laugh here**
