I've been splurging too much on sweets. Yesterday I bought a naughty kind of cookie, fairly low calorie but the sort that will make me think about them too much and eat some even without tea! (That should be a cardinal rule for me, no cookie without a cuppa. Don't have time for tea? Fine, no cookies.) Worse, the same day I had to go shop for booze to make sangria and on an impulse I bought a bag of English Butter Fudge at TJ's (180 calories for 4 pieces). There just isn't any excuse for that shit.
I'm having a bunch of friends over for lunch in the garden on Sunday. I'm serving gazpacho and breadsticks along with asparagus spears and dip. But I'm making a big bowl of sangria too. I've got fruit soaking in rum and cointreau right now which I'll add to a mixture of red and rose wine and orange juice later. I'm planning to mix mine 50/50 with seltzer and not drink too much. I sure hope someone drinks this shit up without crashing their car on the way home.
But I think I have portion control down cold. Even when I feel ravenous, I have confidence that eating a sensible portion will make me feel every bit as satisfied as stuffing my face. Plus I never feel painfully stuffed, something I do not miss at all. I don't think I'll ever put a bunch of weight on again but gawd only knows when or if I'll get down to 175.
