Birthday

Today was my daughter's 3rd birthday party.  We had it at a local gym and they served pizza and cake, of course.

I was hungry and as pizza was the only option, I ate it.  I ate an ENTIRE piece (a small one, but still).  I couldn't believe it - and I didn't feel sick at all.

I didn't have cake at lunch b/c I figured it would put me over the age but I *was* going to have a little bit of cake.  I think it's important if you want a special occasion thing like that to find a way to fit it in.  This is a LIFESTYLE change and I'm not going to not eat cake for the rest of my life.

Yesterday was another friend's party - I easily skipped the cake.  Today was MY kid's party and I wanted to celebrate.  Anyway, I had dinner and then about an hour later had some cake.  Ooooooof.  I feel so so sick.  It was sickeningly sweet and I had it too close to my meal.  I took a small piece and was  still only able to eat a little bit.

But, I had it.  I'm counting my weight today for the week - not tomorrow.  I had it, had my taste, don't need any more, ready to move on.

aaaaand the I barfed.  I barfed up all that cake.  I am different, my body is different.  Even if I take only small amounts of things, there are some things I simply cannot tolerate anymore and I guess more than a bite of sweet sweet cake is one of those things.
