I must confess I am such a dork. So I posted yesterday that my dad is in town visiting, SURPRISE and for most people it was. We all decided to go see my cousin who is currently in the play My Fair Lady at ABT and surprise him with my dad. Well, I blame lack of sleep for my lack of attention to detail; the early morning dad arrived of course I had to update my facebook status, I was just that excited. So here we are sneaking my dad around to surprise my cousin... he was slightly surprised but he totally called me out..saying I spilled the beans by posting it on facebook. Dork, I am such a DORK! What? Do people actually read facebook? (insert sarcasm here) I had totally spaced the fact that I had posted about my dads arrival. Gosh, nice going ruin the surprise, Angela! (See I can admit when I make a mistake....sometimes)
So my dad has taken on the roll of food heckler. He shows up at the house after going shopping with my grandma with cheerios, peanut butter, and b r e a d; yep BREAD! Not cool. Then he proceeds to say that he had a wonderful lunch of burger, and giant chocolate milk shake. Devil man, I say. All the while snickering to himself with a devilish twinkle in his eye. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....I could soak his bread in toilet water and freeze it then put it back...too mean? Ohhhh how about ant bodies in his cheerios; nope too obvious. Hmmmm how about I just hide it all from him while he is sleeping....yep that just might work! Paybacks Popi, paybacks!
I just want to make something perfectly clear I have a VERY SARCASTIC FAMILY! Sooo, what I am about to say is pretty much the icing on the proverbial food cake of today. I had taken a Medifast bar with me as did my cousin so we could eat them for our "dessert". (ABT is a dinner theater) Dad kept making comments because I kept dropping food all over me, little case of the dropsies today. He made some comment about you don't need to eat food you should just start wearing it, you should just stick your bar on your hip its just going to end up there anyway. (insert fathers full on belly laugh here) After I stopped crying from laughing so hard, I gave him the stare of death; are you saying this bar is going to go straight to my hips? Was that a fat joke? You better watch it dad, you may be able to eat real food all the time....but I can find a new home for your stash of contraband food items in OUR house! Take that.
I want you all to know how successful I feel today. I have been faced with so many challenges today and I have been able to push through all of them. ALL OF THEM! At dinner everyone at my table was eating the bread, (3 baskets full) I didn't even have a crumb. Then at dinner, mixed with my julianned veggies, were carrots which I picked out every single one (too many natural sugars in them). Then, I had noooooooo dessert, I ate my medifast bar instead. My life coach and I patted each other on the back for both being so successful. I decided today that my long term goal is a lot more important then the instant gratification that those yummy foods would give me. I am sure I am going to need someone to remind me that I said that down the road at one point or another so be prepared!
Score so far: Angela: 4 (gave 2 pts for today) Food: 0
Love Angela
