photo above not from my actual meal, it’s from the internet

last night after finishing said creative video project (on time woo-hoo!) my boyfriend and i played the “what should we order?” game.  i said chinese since i hadn’t had it in ages.  for the first time in a long time i ordered what i used to get in my lighter days in college (AND WHAT I REALLY WANTED) steamed mixed veggies and tofu with some sauces on the side for dipping and a veggie soup.

the boyfriend and i are now at the point in the relationship where i realize i could order whatever i want, healthy or unhealthy he’s not going to judge or care.  and i am so focused on my goal now that food with rich sauces or heavier fare didn’t appeal to me last night.

the best part: waking up full of energy and hungry for breakfast this morning.

the worst part: no fortune cookies with dinner!  wtf?!  i ended up raiding his pantry and had 2 (not 10 just two because that’s all i wanted) for dessert.

the worst worst part: while we are past this phase in my head where i can order healthy and not feel self conscious, we are not at the “i can accidently fart in front of you and not be mortified” phase yet. eating an entire plate of fiber had me realllllly worried the our sleepover (and relationship) would end abruptly, lucky i was fine.
