Food Party

[Guest guest]

I was visiting with my sister-in-law today and she remembered at the last

minute that she was supposed to go to a food party. She thought it was like

Pampered Chef, but wasn't completely sure. She asked if I wanted to stay

later than I had originally planned and go with her. I did and so we went.

It ended up being a party for all different kinds of food spices, etc. We

tasted about 30+ different kinds of sauces and dips on breads, crackers and

chips. The stuff was very good and there were a lot of great things to use

on meats so I felt it was very valuable for me. The problem was that

everything was passed around to test. After the first several things, I

wasn't sure how I would handle it all. I would take the smallest taste I

could. In the end, I actually did fine. I managed to taste everything and

not get sick from it. I even bought a few of the seasonings to use at home.

Of course now I feel guilty about eating all of that " bad stuff " . I didn't

have any protein and I am too stuffed to eat any now. I know it is OK to

have a meal like that once in a while, but I still feel bad about it. Of

course in the pre-op days I would have taken bigger tastes and I would have

gone for seconds and thirds. I guess after being so paranoid about my weight

loss I should be proud of myself for " falling off the wagon " for one

afternoon. Normal people do those things so I should be able to as well.

OK, I guess I have convinced myself that it was fine for me to do that.

Thanks for letting me babble
