Chocolate Overload

                                 Most of the desserts cost $4.  We bought the one called Colossal Chocolate Overload with WhippedCream and Chocolate Sauce.  It cost $7.  Fortunately they brought two forks.  There should have been four.  We had already had sushi appetizers, smoked fish spread and crackers and a fish dinner with rice and vegetables.  Luckily I didn't eat the 400 calorie Texas Toast.  Besides the two or three pounds I gained from this enormous meal, I felt whoozy after eating all the seets.  Therefore I vowed no more desserts ever again.
                                 Lately we eat out with extremely thin people who always order dessert.  It makes it so tempting.  I have Hypoglycemia and my husband is diabetic.  Neither of us should have dessert.  I'm supposed to eat three meals plus 3 snacks a day.  My husband must inject himself with insulin before every meal.
                                   So it's never again.  I was going to go on my stationary bike when I got home.  It's on the pool patio.   But the smoke from a wildfire or prescribed burn wass so thick and close I couldn't.  I woke up early and did two hours of gardening to wear off a few calories.  My hypoglycemia didn't kick in until 11 am because I was still fueled or sugared from the night before. 
                                        In Hawaii all the restaurants gave free desserts to attract new customers.  The Hula Pie full of chocolate and pie size cookies and cream was enormous /  But I ate the whole thing after a massive panini sandwich.  I over ate the year before on our cruise across the Atlantic.We wore some off traveling around Europe for three weeks .  But not enough.  So now I'm ready to be a contestant on the Biggest Loser.
Never ate desserts
                                            Overweight is often just desserts.  The size of the average restaurant meal doesn't help either.  So I'm back on track with smaller portions and no desserts.  Confession is good for the soul.  I hope it helps the waistline too.  Although I don't know if I have one.
