I am declaring VICTORY!!!

...over myself.

In meeting with my fiance, I got really really really hungry. My appetite came back just as I was marching through Grand Central Station.

For those of you who don't know, it's a major transportation hub for commuter trains in Manhattan. It has a mall. With a food court. Little Pie Company, Juniors (famous Brooklyn Cheesecake), Gelato Ice Cream, Jamaican Beef Patties, Chinese, Indian, pretzel/soda/beer/wine stands....need I say more?

So, while waiting for a train, I take out a little sample Atkins bar -- they give them out frequently on the way to work. They are just 1/2 a serving. I always try to keep a couple of those and some Slim Jims in my purse for "emergency." Well, it was an emergency. I had a Slim Jim and sample bar.

When I got to my fiance's neighborhood, we had plans to get some burgers, but he was going to be delayed. So I stopped by the Chinese food place and purchased shrimp egg foo young -- basically, fried shimp omelettes -- with the gravy on the side. I had about 1 1/2 over a 3 hour period.

When he finally arrived, he wanted to meet his friends at the pool hall. I had a chicken finger -- I was still hungry. Ok, two. But very very very little sauce. And no drink -- just a diet soda.

Ok, did I cheat? I suppose so, a little bit. There was breading on the chicken finger and I shouldn't have touched the sauce with a ten foot pole. But hunger is hunger, man! And considering my limited choices, I think I did fairly well.

If you've read my previous posts, you'll note that my fiance is currently scale-less. But i bought my ketostiks with me, and I am still in ketosis!

Therefore, I am declaring victory.

Plus, I have extra egg foo young for breakfast this morning. :-)

May you all be your goal weight!!!! Love, me!
