I could totally go to food tastings every day.
Well, maybe not every day. But most days. Maybe the ones ending in “-day.” Or something.
Spencer and I had our menu tasting at the venue over the weekend with our awesome wedding coordinator, Jennifer, and I’m even more excited about the big day having sampled a certain apple-glazed chicken that will dance in my memory for a while. Even with saving a cache of my Weight Watchers anytime points, I didn’t go crazy last weekend — and managed to try a little bit of everything without quadrupling my caloric intake. And I totally stayed on plan.
It’s a struggle. But I’m doing it.
In four weeks, I’ve actually lost 7.6 lbs. — a feat I would have thought impossible just a month ago. My favorite dress pants, the ones I bought when I got my first office job, actually fit again. I’m back in my “normal” dress size, the one I wore for about a decade, and actually find that most of my pants are a little baggy. And this is all very exciting!
I have a long way to go — and I realize that the weight won’t continue to disappear with every grape and apple and orange slice. But by making small changes to my eating habits and altering my diet, especially when it comes to portion control, I’m already seeing results — and actually look forward to weighing in each week.
Who would have thought?
Though let’s see how I do at the cake tastings . . . can we say gateway food?

I am so proud of you! Don’t you feel awesome? The hardest part is getting started, then the next hardest part is sometime in the middle when you hit a plateau (link arms with your man and resist!). And that food looks gorgeous and yummy!
