Day 16- Bowling and Beer

Well just bowling. I got to go out and enjoy some bowling with friends. The beer wasn't the hard part but I will give you 3 guesses as to what was. The big thing for me is the snacking.... however for the past 16 days I haven't snacked once. When I used to go out I used to have to have food in front of me. It was something to do if there was a lull in the conversation or even If I didn't want to talk. Sometimes I got something because "It just sounded good"

What helped me through tonight was an unbelievably kind and supportive email. I do not want to share the person's name or gender, but they wrote "Just think if this trend were to keep up. I inspire someone to make a change and they inspire someone to make a change and think about a year from now how many lives could be changed and it all started with YOU" I didn't realize my need to help people to make me feel better could have started with me all along.

They also were impressed with my raw honesty. Well let me tell you.... this may be the hardest part. I am not used to being vulnerable and exposed. I am a very guarded and private, sometimes too much, and sometimes with my friends. I am looking to change that. Who knows maybe one day I will talk to my friends about my feelings..... baby steps kids.

Cheat meal is Saturday and I go back and forth for what I want.... I'm taking menu suggestions. :)
