Weight Loss, What?

Today was one of those days that makes me wonder if there is a god somewhere who wants me to be fat. My Mom called this morning and asked me and the kids to meet her out for lunch. Because I never turn down a lunch out, I got us all ready and out we went. We went to a little diner that has been in town forever, nothing fancy, just good plain food.

I look over the menu and made a reasonably healthy choice. The old me would've ordered something like chicken salad on a croissant but the new me who wants to be hot again ordered a portobella mushroom sandwich. OK, the old me may have ordered that too, but this sandwich sucked! The mushroom itself was thinner than a McDonald's burger and it just came with lettuce, tomato, a dry whole wheat bun and a pickle spear. Thank God I'd ordered a cup of chicken noodle soup or a may have started looking for food droppings under the surrounding tables.

I left hungry. I got in my car and drove directly to Starbucks and ordered a nonfat Chai latte and an Oatmeal cookie. I swear I am going to be in BIG trouble when I stop nursing, because I just can't eat enough, ever. Seriously? Who leaves a lunch date, hungry?

Okay, I won't lie, everything you mentioned sounded gross to me. But that's just me, I'm weird. Anyway, I tried those molasses cookies. They came out puffy and cakey. Good, but not cookiey enough. Any suggestions?

LG- sounds like too much baking soda? That's all I got.

Those gods that want you fat must be the same ones that keep me stuffing my face with all the wrong food. I just WANT TO EAT!!

I don't know if I would order a Portabella mushroom sandwich from a diner - that sounds too fancy for diner food!

Gotta love starbucks for bailing you out with their yummy treats! I love their peanut butter cup cookie warmed up just a bit while sippin' on my shot in the dark.
