A Healthy View of Food

Last night was date night.  We had tickets to Cirque du Soleil and went out to dinner first.  We wanted to go somewhere close, inexpensive, and that wouldn't take too terribly long.  So we decided to go to Old Spaghetti Factory. 

Now a little background on Old Spaghetti Factory and me.  I used to live pretty close to Old Spaghetti Factory.  I would go in, get two meals to go, go home, binge and purge.  So I was pretty nervous about our stop there last night.  I told myself that if I just didn't have the two meals I usually got in the past it would be okay.

We got there, got a cozy little table in the bar overlooking the river and got a glass of wine.  Then the waitress brought the menu.  I poured over that menu and guess what - the only thing that sounded good was one of the meals I used to get for those binges.

So I went for it.  I had a piece of bread, my salad, and enjoyed my pasta until I was full.  Even had a bit of spumoni afterward.  And the best part, I was able to focus on my husband at date night instead of stressing about going to a public restroom to purge.  If I can do that, I can do anything!  Back on track for two days now!
