Soon is going to be my 33rd birthday and because of it I’m traveling to my Country, Puerto Rico, to visit my family and celebrate the only way Puerto Ricans know how to.
I know I’ll be surrounded by people who love me and of course yummy food and cake. Every year I celebrate big, after all this only happens once a year. At the same time I try not to go over board with the food and drink intake. This is my first year, in about 10, that I’m going to Puerto Rico to celebrate and I do hope it becomes a “big” celebration but at the same time I’m so scared that I wouldn’t be able to control myself.
Fortunately, I have a great support system at home and I know that they will make sure I don’t go over board while having fun. Also, my body is starting to recognize when enough is enough. Like I said before, I’m not going to stress about the food that I have around me. I can always enjoy myself and at the same time make smart choices.
I will eat cake, I will eat out with my friends and family, I’ll have a drink, and yes I’m going to celebrate my birthday, but this time I’m going to celebrate in moderation have fun and above all, PLAN in advance what am I going to do! I will have a happy 33rd birthday.
Bring on the cake and the good times!

Getting Ready for My B’day…
I found your entry interesting. I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog

I just had my birthday celebration yesterday. It was difficult not to indulge myself with the thought that “I deserve to eat whatever I want.” But, guess what? I enjoyed two light meals and one ‘special’ meal. That’s what my nutritionist advised. So, nena, go ahead, have fun in PR and have your ‘special’ meal surrounded by your relatives’ love and care. I love you, my friend!
Aww!! Thanks Karencita!!!
Love you back!
