My son had birthday party #2 today. He’s not turning two. He’ll just have 4 total birthday parties before this ones all said and done. It’s absurd, I know. One friend party. One nuclear family party (on the actual day). One my side of the family party. One in-law party. I’d do all of the families together but time and geography make it impossible. So be it.
I volunteered to host today’s festivities and, as such, made a pot of chili and a chocolate cake. This cake was a pathetic sight to behold but it was magically delicious. I cut myself a microthin piece and enjoyed every little morsel. I found satisfaction and a profounds lesson: don’t deny yourself but exercise restraint. That’s right. You heard it hear first. MODERATION is the key to weight loss success! Who knew?
Apparently everyone but me. I stayed within my calorie range, enjoyed cake and chili and am going to bed satisfied but not full. I’d say that’s a victory.
My husband’s motto is moderation is key in everything you do. I guess he is right! I’m not telling him though
