Happy Birthday America!!

Today, 4th of July, has always been associated with hamburgers on the grill and apple pie. I am a military spouse so our holidays are spent with our military friends and celebrating. I just knew there would be more food than I could control myself with, ya' know what? There was, and I cooked every bit of it. I had some homemade chicken wings on the grill, a scoop of potato salad, a scoop of baked beans and a corn on the cob. Sounds pretty bad huh? Especially on my pre op diet, well, I did great. This was the first holiday in years that I only had one plate of food with no seconds and no deserts. I enjoyed my meal and spent the rest of the time focusing on my family and guests instead of what I am gonna stuff my face with next and what will I have when everyone is gone.

I did very very good today, I am proud of myself.
