When in doubt on a freezing Saturday morning in February...switch on your red lava lamp, light some scented candles and bake...right now am baking a banana, pecan, coconut bread with a vanilla glaze...makes me feel good to smell it wafting through the place...and knowing that it will be dropped off at the Super Bowl party tomorrow afternoon, makes me feel even better...I hear that taking a deep breath from a bottle of vanilla concentrate helps satisfy some internal desire for sugar. I believe it. I am taking a deep breath in my kitchen as I type and I am better for it.
...Had great success last night in the coffee shop with the glass case full of pastries and croissants. I bought a cup of flavored chocolate fudge coffee (zero calories) and chose a warm table far from the food counter. I savored that hot coffee as it warmed my insides and I really enjoyed the social interaction. This friend, with whom I met is a positive, friendly, warm-hearted, open and encouraging person. I know that the people one hangs out makes all the difference. I strive to shed negative personalities which drag me down and take the life out of me. I believe as I shed the negative people, I shall shed the pounds.
I am headed to The Cheesecake Factory soon for the farewell luncheon I mentioned yesterday. I am ready. I shall drink herbal tea and order the white chicken chili which is listed at 880 calories. Trust me, it was one of the lowest calorie items on the menu. I shall have a piece of cheesecake...but it shall be plain...clocking in at 707 calories. My goal is to bring at least half of it home. I am learning to listen to my body food reaction. I do not want to feel stuffed and half-sick. I do not enjoy the feelings of depression which hit when I overeat. I am taking control of this Saturday...
