Today is going to be a hard day to make good food choices, so what do I do? It is my youngest son's graduation from high school. It was a long hard road to get here to this day. I am not entirely happy with the education he received and blame myself for a lot of the shortcomings. There are so many emotions tied into today it could be a blog itself, so there is the whole emotional eating challenge, but there is also the structure of the day.
The school is having a brunch/lunch buffet for the families. We want to celebrate graduation with a trip to Farrell's, which is an ice cream parlor. It is special. It is far from our house and close to the school and let's face it ice cream makes everything better. Charlie likes to eat out more than in and we told him we would take him out to dinner. Celebrations are better with good tasting food. Some days I don't want to worry about what I eat, but then I just pack on the pounds even if it is just a day.
How do I approach today? Do I just allow myself to eat what I want for this day and go back to my food plan tomorrow? Do I make the best choices with the food available? The only thing I know for certain is whatever I choose I cannot beat myself up for having ice cream on my son's graduation day. New York, or no New York, life without ice cream is no a life worth living. Did I mention I like ice cream?
