It’s appropriate I’ve had “Be Our Guest” from Beauty and the Beast going through my
head today because I feel like I’ve eaten an entire fancy buffet. Maybe not a
whole buffet but I certainly didn’t watch what I ate today. One minute I think
I’ve got this eat less thing down and the next minute I’m eating “beef ragout/cheese soufflé/pie and pudding “en flambe.” Actually it was tacos and pizza but
the other stuff sounded better. And sorry if you now have the song stuck in
your head. :)
Maybe I’m just nervous about my kidney appointment tomorrow
but in all honestly, it’s probably me just sabotaging myself which I do quite
well. I mentioned in my blog yesterday
about how I thought I had my eating under control and that the scale was going
down so naturally, today it’s all about greasy crap. When will I learn?
This is why I need to keep this trip in the forefront of my
thoughts. I need to remind myself why I need to lose weight so I’m wondering if
every morning I need to do something Disney (read about a park, plan a day,
etc.) to remind myself to play it cool throughout the day when it comes to
food. And to remind me to MOVE. I’ve been sucked into Netflix the last couple
days and that’s not helping. This is the only time I wish I had a dog. When I
was a nanny, the family I worked for had a dog and I loved taking her for
walks. If only I could train Joey the Cat to walk on a leash but I’ve been down
that road before and failed. All he does is fall over and expect to be pulled. And
when I tried Bootsie, well, all she wanted to do was sit in the grass and eat
it and then proceed to barf up the eaten grass.
So in the grand plan I have, my cats aren’t exactly Mommy’s
little helpers. The little boogers.
Anyway, there is a new restaurant in Fantasyland at the
Magic Kingdom that I plan on eating dinner at on my second day at the Magic
Kingdom. It’s called Be Our Guest and is Beauty
and the Beast themed. I guess there’s three (?) rooms and each one is
different and magical. I can’t wait to see it! Beauty and the Beast is my favorite animated Disney movie (Mary Poppins is my favorite live action
movie) because, and this is sad, but I relate to the Beast because I’ve always
been overweight and don’t feel I deserve to be loved. Do we now understand why
I go to therapy weekly?
Hmmm… So if I’m the Beast, then Joey could be Lumiere and
Bootsie Cogsworth. I’m sure they’ll love me dancing them around the apartment
singing in a very bad voice songs from Beauty
and the Beast. Actually, Joey would probably love it because he’s such a
mama’s boy but Bootsie probably not so much. She’d probably hate that I took
her out of her suitcase.
And-a one, and-a two… “Tale as old as time/True as it can be…”
