Christmas day recap

I hope everyone has had a magnificent Christmas and boxing day (I can't believe that doesn't exist here in America) So my first stateside Christmas was great. I knew there were going to be about 20 people there and only knowing 25% of the people there was starting to freak me out and my social anxiety was starting to kick in big time. I had a strategy, I took along a magnum of prosecco :-) and gave myself a mantra no one knows you, you can be who ever you want. I knew there was going to be a lot of food given the family I'm staying with we're taking 3 massive vegetable dishes so I didn't have anything to eat that day so 2 glasses of prosecco went straight to my head I tried not to eat too many of the pre meal nibbles, I avoided the banana cake with coffee when we arrived and only had a couple of crackers with the dip then with my meal I ate lots of veggies, salad, a tiny dollop of mashed potato, dinner roll and fish, of the dinner roll was unnecessary but I love American dinner rolls. Then desert, wow, a massive piece of brownie with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce...I admit I ate every little piece, it was unbelieveable.!!!! Oh and lots of red wine was drunk, but I had a lovely time I met lovely new people, I think I made an ok impression, and had a great day. While I ate lots yesterday I haven't freaked out and binged on crap, my friend and I are looking after each other and I appreciate her not buying heaps of stuff that I love. We went for a good sized walk today and stopped for for a bento box for lunch. So I've had a little chocolate, I've had a small amount of peanut butter on toast each morning for breakfast and I've drunk lots of red wine my belly is shrinking and looking more shrivelled than it was which is always my indicator that I'm losing weight, amazing what happens when you're busy and happy and not searching for something.
