Ouch! One of the keys to my success so far in this process is my total lack of social life. I work evenings six days a week and on Sundays I usually want to do little more than vegetate. My friends are scattered all over the city, so it takes an actually planned event to get together with them. My poor miserable life has made it much easier to control what and when I eat.
Tonight though, a friend had a farewell party, leaving Japan after 28 years here. The party was held at a microbrewery, so I knew I was going to drink some beer. I figured limiting myself to three pints was a fairly good effort. The problem was the food menu. The place has one thing and one thing only -- pizza. Hard to make healthy choices on that menu. And, pizza is one of my avoid at all costs temptation foods. It's really hard to estimate how much I ate. Pizzas in Japan don't look like pizzas in the rest of the world. I figure I probably had six small slices, but how many calories that works out to be is a wild guess.
The good news is that even though I overdid the pizza, I didn't come home and start digging through the refrigerator. In the past, I've often used a slip up as an excuse to give up all self control; rationalizing that since I blew it any way, what's another 1000 calories or so going to hurt. I think the prospect of having to add all those calories to my diet calendar helped me resist.
Oh well, get back on the horse tomorrow. No social events planned!
BTW, today was my first day cutting out diet sodas. I had three bottles of cold tea -- green and oolong. Result? Meh... Not a big tea fan and they really don't seem to do anything for me that a water wouldn't do. I'll give it a week and re-evaluate.
