Losing It

Sausage and Cheese

Last night we had a dinner guest and we made homemade enchiladas. The secret sauce had lots of spicy sausage, and overall two large blocks of cheese were melted into the meal. Not a good night for the diet-but I did sleep really well with that full stomach.

Of course, this meal makes me wonder: how am I ever going to do this for good? I've been able to maintain at my current weight even with the chinese food, pizza, and drinking but I really need to give everything up if I want to blast the fat and get down to an even lower (and healthier) weight. I know it would be easier if I just lived in a vacuum, but I don't. My DH loves the rich food and it has always been a part of our relationship...do I now say "sorry, no more fat and no more alcohol?" Sorry, I'm pretty sure that would be the end of our marriage. So I really need to find middle ground. I think if Friday and Saturday nights were left open and the rest were off limits that would work. The problem? I would then be in charge of meals all those other nights if I wanted to guarantee their health factor.
