Attitude:

Oh man, I found out the coolest thing today. Burger King offers their whopper sandwiches low-carb! Again this statement shows my unhealthy view of food when I think that this is the coolest thing, but we'll continue to work on that. Until then...they put the patty in the bottom of a salad bowl and place lettuce, tomato, pickles and onion on the top. Now, if you don't know me very well, BK's whopper w/cheese is my ultimate comfort food. I used to go out late at night with my brothers, buy 3 whoppers w/cheese plus king sized-fries and fry sauce (but I always had a diet coke!) and pig out while playing video games. So I wasn't sure if this low-carb way of eating the whopper would cut it completely with me. But truth be told, while it didn't have the same groovy taste as when it is smothered in the ketchup and mayo and wrapped up in a luscious, soft, squishy bun, I still enjoyed it. And while my HHT had also ordered us a side salad to go along with it, I was so full from the burger that I brought my salad home for later. This is a big step for me to be satisfied with not only one burger, but one without the bun and french fries.

5 things I’m grateful for:
1. Feeling less temptation for food every day (it's slowly losing it's grip on me!)

2. Friday nights

3. Cribbage and the buddies who play it

4. my daughter being so responsible and thoughtful

5. watching the joy a child feels when they've lost a tooth
