Re: Happy Hearts Day

[Guest guest]

I had a great Valentines Day. Went out for dinner and PASSED ON DESSERT because I was full!!!! NEVER EVER have I done that, and I didn't even miss it! That shows me how far of come with my IE and recovery journey. It was great to know that I was full, be able to honor that, and pass on dessert. Plus I knew I could certainly have dessert anytime I wanted when I got hungry again! So freeing.

Thanks

Here's a story..We went out to a nice Italian restaurant; were going to

share a meal, and my husband didn't want salad, so I was going to have that,

and we would split an appetizer, well come to find out the restaurant

wouldn't let us split a meal without paying an extra $6.00 for a salad we

didn't want, or we had the option of buying another meal..so we have to pay

extra because we said we were sharing a meal? Instead of giving them money

for food we didn't want we had the appetizer and left. I could have ordered

the extra meal, gorged on it, or taken it home to gorge on later, or have

paid extra for a salad no one wanted to gorge on later, but I just said it

wasn't worth the extra expense, or food. It wasn't the greatest experience

as far as a romantic night went though.

Good for you to leave instead of being 'pushed' into more than you

wanted! Bet you won't go to that place any more or at least not unless

you are very hungry and want a full meal. I think that was very

'romantic' - for yourself :)
