It's hard to remember when I've had a more pleasant weekend.  I got to spend time with some good friends, catch up on sleep, and even got to eat anything I wanted.

See, I made myself a deal.  I promised myself on Memorial Day that if I was "good" with the food all summer, I'd allow myself to not worry about things over the Labor Day weekend.  Seems fair, right?

So... I ate whatever I wanted to this weekend.  I actually scared myself a bit.  God, bacon cheeseburgers are GOOD!  So good, I ate two of them over the weekend!  I also ate fries.  And assorted other fatty and nasty things.

I was shocked, though that I didn't seem to want to snack a whole lot... I didn't want candy bars and junk like that all the time, which I used to eat without thinking about it.  I don't know why, but I just didn't crave them anymore.  I ate SOME candy, but not like I thought I would.

Well, that's all over, and as of this morning, I gained one pound.  That doesn't sound like a lot, but I haven't been going up and down--just down, or stay the same.

Also, I've very, very hungry today.  I feel like I could eat my desk!  Really, really hungry!  That's what I get for training my stomach to take more food, huh?  Oh well, that usually is the case for a few days, then I'm fine.  I don't mind eating better.  I actually kind of like it... I mean... really!  I'm a control freak, so it follows I'd like to control my food!

Next food orgy:  Wurstfest, first weekend in November.  Then, I'll need to formulate my holiday eating strategy.
