My night out...

Mmmmm....

I really enjoyed my meal! I am also quite pleased with myself. I didn't even have room in my belly for the whole plate of food. That truly is a first for me. Being a food addict, I have rarely left a plate unfinished. I must admit, it is very satisfying to feel like I was in control of my eating. I did go out for dessert after, as this was our original plan from the start. I got a delish blizzard from DQ and it was amazing! 

So here's what I had today...

Breakfast I ate soup, lunch I tried to eat salad with a few nuggets and was surprised when I wasn't able to finish. I rested a while the went back to it after some time and, Alhamdulillah, I was able to finish it. I was a very small portion. I was so happy that I wasn't able to finish it. Insha'Allah that means that my diet is working, I really am trying to shrink my stomach. 

At the restaurant I ordered Chicken Cordon Bleu, and it was fantastic. It came with fries and mixed veggies. I ate less than half of the chicken and a few fries. I ate some of a friends appetizer (hummus and salad with a bit of bread) I ate a bit of my veggies, because they were delicious. 

I drank diet pepsi and water.

It was a really nice night, masha'Allah. I was very happy to enjoy a night out without kids, except for my oldest that is a little lady now. My friends and I really did have a nice experience and I must say that it gives me more zeal to continue my diet, just seeing that I am improving by resisting the urge to overeat. May Allah make it easy for me tomorrow to pick it back up where I left off and continue to transform myself into a better me.... ahmeen.
