Fullness

I have not had a full belly in a very long time. It feels good. My fifteen-hundred-calorie-per-day diet does not, in any way, provide the opportunity for the sensation of sated, bloated fullness.

There is not too much guilt to follow my evening of relative gluttony, as this was an isolated event, and tomorrow it is back to the old diet. These last ten pounds around my midsection are proving to be rather troublesome. I will lose them, though. My official reentry back into “the game” will be a catered singles semi-formal on December 10. It is my strong desire to reach my goal weight (180 pounds) by then.

Back to my sated belly…as I mentioned in the comments to my last post, I accepted a Thanksgiving invitation from a co-worker. It is always better to spend holidays with friends or loved ones.

Because there were three vegetarians and one vegan in attendance, we had a nice variety of scrumptious non-traditional fare in addition to the turkey, stuffing, and so forth. They did not serve tofurkey, unfortunately, but did have seasoned fried tofu “fillets” topped with a tangy vegetable relish. Underscoring the “omni” in “omnivore,” I sampled a bit of everything. Delicious.
