Conquered first out to eat venture

Last night we went to the Gristmill. One of my ultimate favorite places to eat. Although this time we went it was not all about the fantastic onion rings. Jason was offered a job so we went with family and friends to celebrate. It was not easy and boy did I want some onion rings and to snack on Gabe's potato chip french fries like normal. I did not give in!! I had part of a side salad with ranch on the side so that I could control the amount I used and stay on plan. I then ordered a breast of chicken plain and ordered steamed broccoli. Our wonderful waitress let me know that there was a butter sauce on the broccoli so I asked her to take that off. I ate half the chicken breast and half the broccoli. I actually think that I ate probably less than I was allotted but I was trying to be so careful.
As things countinue to get more and more interesting in our lives this week I notice that as soon as something good, stressful, or any other emotion happens my stomach automatically turns hungry. For the last 2 weeks the hunger has been for onion rings :-) Jason goes to do all the paperwork for his new job tomorrow and will start on Monday working 4 10 hour days. We currently have only one car and found out today that the second car is a total loss. So along with finding a place to move we now need to find a car and may end up getting a rental car for several days so that we can both get to work. I am super excited that we are getting to move!! That has been on my prayers for the last year so I am excited big time for that!! Financially we are in a super tight squeeze and getting a new car does not currently fit in the budget nor does child care for Gabe. We have his sisters here to take care of him for 3 more weeks and then we have to get that piece figured out too!! Needless to say the stress and anxiety level that I have is high but there is excitement as well. So with all these emotions that I have to stay present to deal with the urge to eat off plan is high. I will not give in though thats just not in my nature or personality. I am making the choice to deal with the emotions and hand things over to God no matter how hard the process is. We have another evening of going out with friends tomorrow evening and I am hoping that it goes as well as last night did.
