... or subconscious? Or maybe completely coincidental?
It was a nice day here today so DH said this morning: "Why don't we go for a drive? It would be good to get out of the house, and we could stop for lunch at K--- Winery." Knowing that I am working at losing some weight he added: "They will surely have a salad or something that you can eat." I should maybe mention that K--- winery has a very nice restaurant; Its a place to take out of town guests one wants to impress
I had a few things that I wanted to do today, but none of them urgent, so I agreed that it might be fun (though I was a little ambivalent about lunch). It was indeed a nice day, and a nice drive (Oregon in Springtime is really very pretty), and lunch was good. They did have choices that I could eat without totally blowing the diet, and I enjoyed what I had very much. However ... restaurants are, generally, multiple choice; and while I enjoyed what I had, there were several choices that I most likely would have enjoyed even more. And it was hard avoiding the freshly baked bread (one of my weaknesses). And, while I am not a big desert fan, I do adore a good creme brulee ... and the one that DH ordered did look tempting.
So I really wonder if DH subconsciously, or perhaps even more overtly, has a problem when I try to get a handle on my weight issues. He also could stand to lose some weight (more than me, truth be told), but isn't trying at the moment. So, was it sabotage?
--- Taking my tongue out of my cheek now, and being quite serious, I have found over the last week or so that I do not seem to crave the carbohydrates I have been avoiding to any great extent anymore. Perhaps my blood sugar is on an even keel now. So, although I really, really love good fresh bread it was really OK that I didn't eat any. I ate the charcuterie (cured meats) appetizer without the bread, and that was just fine. I just didn't look at the bread. And I gave the potatoes, from the main course, to DH; that was his own fault for leading me into temptation And, though the waitress brought an extra spoon "just in case", I enjoyed my coffee and only salivated a little over DH's creme brulee.
You know something? I may just be able to finally win at this weight loss game

I'm just kidding, but being a "fat kid" myself at times, it IS hard, and when someone just flaunts the yummy stuff in your face sometimes you just can't hardly hold it together!! My DH seems to love doing that too, and R, and DD, and....yeah well, you know how it goes :/ Good for you for sticking to it and doing the right thing for yourself! 
you DIDN'T!!! Wow...I wish I could have chocolate, and you and your DH are just abusing it... 
Ungrateful people!!!
