The Cheesecake Factory

Doing ok on the diet. Tolly and I had an anniversary dinner at the Cheesecake Factory so as you can guess, didn't do so well on that night. We started out with the avocado egg rolls and for the entree we had bang bang shrimp/chicken & chicken farfalle. Ended with a piece of cheesecake. This restaurant is heavenly. I would kill for just a bite of the dulce de leche cheesecake! Sometimes we go to a restaurant so often that we get tired of the food so we decided to save cc factory for special occassions. That lasted about two weeks and we ended up there because there is no end to my gluttony. This time we started with the pot stickers (not my fav) and mini sliders then moved on to Mediterranean style mahi mahi, pizza and potato soup and finished with cheesecake. Tolly always tries a different flavor of cheesecake but nothing compares to the dulce de leche. I wish my vocab was bigger because I would love to describe the food in great detail because "yummy" just doesn't do it justice. Anyway... amazingly enough I still lost a half a pound that week.

I have been wondering if there is a disease just the opposite of anorexia? If there is, I think I have it. Instead of looking in the mirror and seeing what is actually there (which is a hippo) I see myself much thinner. As soon as I started losing weight I wanted to head to the 5.7.9 store for a new wardrobe. LOL. Yesterday I was crushed when I bought a new pair of pants...SIZE 20W. The sad thing is....I started trying on size 16. I am basically still the same size as when I started dieting. Depressing! My beginning weight was 223 and now I am 196....but still a 2ow. Alissa thinks the "w" after the size means "wide". How rude!
