Valentines Day!

[DuchessOfDork]

So, no chocolate dipped strawberries for me..

What are you guys gonna do for Valentines Day?

[UrbanShaman]

I'm singing! For food, I'll eat artichoke hearts instead of chocolate ones. I know, bad joke....

I am going to smell chocolate this year.

Ugh! I really don't know...DBF is insisting on buying me candy. I can't eat it and its just going to tempt me. He got mad at me when I told him to buy me a book that I've been wanting instead. He says that Valentine's isn't about "presents", its about candy, cards, flowers, etc. I've been raiding the dessert recipe section and I'm going to prepare myself with ingredients to make legal desserts. Then if I have no self control, I will have to take the time to make the dessert first and think about what I'm doing. If I can't keep from binging, atleast I'll be stuffing my face with low-carb goodies. Hopefully I can avoid that, but I'm not going to be unprepared. On the bright side, DBF said that we weren't going out to dinner with his parents this year. One less thing for me to worry about.

So tell him to get you a card and flowers. I hope you have a good day on Valentine' Day and are able to resist the temptation regardless of what he gets you. I know it is hard. I was looking today at how delicious they all looked and had to remind myself that it only tastes good for a minute and then it will take me two weeks to get it back off the scale. lol

Fortunately for me, DBF is very supportive of this WOE so instead of chocolate and flowers we are going to a show and to dinner where I will have a nice big steak instead of champagne and strawberries! Being busy and away from my flat that night I think will help me to not get too tempted! If all else fails I will remember misplaced southerner's idea! Lingerie is certainly carb free and because we are all carb free we will look better in it!

My boyfriend and I are going to spend the evening at home. In bed.

I usually make my husband a nice tenderloin or prime Rib dinner. I ask for flowers, not $70 roses or anything, just a nice mixed bouquet. I don't even like getting cards (honestly..i think they're such a waste of money). I have a 15 yr old stepdaughter, i usually get her a pair of valentines themed pj's and a small box of chocolate.

I was at costco last week and saw white and pink heart shaped fresh ravioli! I will make that as a side dish for them if they still have it! it was so cute!
