Well next Thursday, will be my birthday. So, my husband wanted to plan and give me a big party. I had asked that he not plan anything because I am only a month sleeved and still on purees until next week. But, he and some of his friends decided I needed a party and since I had been wanting hummus since I was on purees, he planned my whole birthday party around the theme "Hummus". haha
We had Greek marinaded chicken kabobs, falafel, hummus, cucumber sauce, pitas and baklava. YEP! It was my big fat Greek birthday party! Someone also brought a big beautiful strawberry cheesecake from one of the best bakeries in town!!!! They even put FELIZ CUMPLEANOS candles on them and I blew them out.
But no matter what everyone else ate, no matter that I cooked most of it and blew out the candles on that tempting cheesecake.... I ate my hummus and was happy. Everything looked really good and was good from what everyone was saying but I am praying that as I continue on this journey that by next year, I wont have any BIG FAT anything!!!
My husband actually made some mini cheesecakes out of stevia and I had a 2 tiny bites of one. It was really a sweet and special thing for him to do for me.
Everyone at my party had known about my surgery and that also helped with accountability as well. I could have easily just taken a few bites here and there. So that is one good reason to share this news with those around you.
Anyway, although I was really dreading this party, I have a tool that helps me not overeat and my mind is finally catching up and I realize that I can enjoy a party without gorging myself. Happy Birthday to me!
