Weight: 262 lbs.
OK, the wait is over…and you can see for yourself that although I didn’t lose weight, I didn’t gain any either. Given how we lived the last few days, I’ll take it!
Today we celebrated one last time, and ate out again — but this time at a Greek restaurant where I ordered a mixed souvlaki plate and ended up taking three containers of leftovers home. They really piled it on, and it was one gigantonormous platter of food! Its funny how in the past I would have been thrilled and likely polished off every bite without batting an eye. It feels good to ask for take out containers instead of handing completely spotless plates back to the incredulous waitress who looks like she can’t believe you ate the whole thing. And then, when she asks if you want dessert while looking sure that no human being could possibly follow up such a meal with another bite, you humorously shout “NO!”, while secretly thinking that you would have, if only she didn’t seem so aware of how much you had already eaten. God, I’m glad those days of gluttony are over! This must be the best birthday present of all!
The next gift I am giving myself, is a break from writing more here tonight. It is late, I am pooped, and if I was Bill Keane from the Family Circus comic strip, I would have Billy or one of my kids filling in for me today. After all, it is still my birthday for another few hours! (And really now, we all know that some of you just check in to see my daily weight anyhow, don’t you?!)
