Proud of my girl. A simple dinner and a movie.

Mark, I want to make a post today she said.

Enough is enough and I'm going to do it.

And she did.

Bianca's weight loss journey: I am fat [ Part 1 ], she named it.

She wanted to go out and eat healthy today.

I was instantly worried. Healthy and fun rarely go hand in hand.

I was wrong.

I can't go with the metro again. I use it every day. You drive to Rotterdam, please. I know the cost. Max 2 beers for me.

I parked the car in the parking garage close to the restaurant. Walking is still too hard. Coming out of the garage we see this. Beautiful.

Bianca and I walk hand in hand most of the time. It's not common in the Netherlands. It should be.

The place. Bianca tells me it's Moroccan. Nightmares of couscous and grilled vegetables are what I expect. I think it's also Ramadan. No beer for me no doubt.

I was wrong!

I let Bianca order. I don't know anything about Moroccan cuisine

This arrives. My mood is lifted! Thank the gods!

Bianca is a little picky. A little rice, a little meat, lots of vegetables. Sticking with her goal and water.

I'm helping by eating the rest. The food is insanely delicious.

I pay the bill but we don't want to go home yet. We decide to drive to the cinema.

We get tickets to wonder woman. We like cinema and have these unlimited passes for a monthly Fee.

Everything is digital now. Even getting tickets. It's all computerized. I forgot the 3D glasses. That's 5 euro. O well...

The movie starts at 9 and we are early. We go outside. The weather is nice.

The movie was nice and we drive home. Bianca needs to work tomorrow and wants to sleep. I can never sleep just after arriving home. Doesn't matter what I did or how late it is. I need an hour to unwind.

I pour myself a whiskey from the bottle I bought at Hanos. I watched Graig Grants latest video about the Hard Fork. It's excellent.

And I make this post.

I'm proud of my girl to open up on Steemit. I know her struggle. I'm also happy I can make pictures of her again.

Insecurity sucks. It's the enemy of confidence.

She will win.

"Insecurity is the enemy of confidence ".

Confidence is the enemy of insecurity.

That's smart. I like it.

Glad she's getting the confidence back and great goals set. Where in Rotterdam was this restaurant? Nice to see you supporting the girlfriend and so unfortunately for you having to eat the whole plate;)

See u around,

Cheers

Yeah, I'm proud of her and it's a tough job I had :). The Restaurant is called Bazaar it's in the Witte de With street.

There's nothing like great food, great beer and a good movie shared with the person you love. Looks as if you two had a nice, relaxing night on the town. And I agree, holding hands should be the norm, not the exception! :)

Thank you! I'm a fan of holding hands. It was a good night!

So thats bianca, hi bianca. :)

That's her :)

Good to see both of you :)

Hi! :-)

Hello bianca how are you?

I am great and you?

Likewise, feeling great. Also glad I finally came to know you, another friend from the other side of the world :)

Oh lovely thanks. Glad to meet you

That food does look good! I work with a Moroccan guy who likes it spicy hot, how was yours?

Thanks for sharing, and good luck Bianca, well done on the Water solo!

Thank you, man! This was not spicy at all but full of flavor. Really delicious.

Healthy can be so much fun! hehe! The food looks amazing! I'm glad the both of you had an amazing day!

We had a great night! Thank you! If this is healthy food I'm all for it!

Yep... fresh foods...it looks healthy to me.... minus the beer of course!

That is trully a marvelous restaurant you two have been to. Just amazing! The food they serve there is also out of this world! And super cool you helped Bianca with eating her leftovers! I thought in her own post she mentioned something like...and Mark could also....Ah well life is for living of course. Great to see you had such a wonderful quality evening together!

It's a nice place! Well in my defense....it was not me who ordered.... :)

Happy to read she is making progress, in life its basically if you want it bad enough you will succeed! That restaurant is called Bazzar right? My wife loves to eat over there. So, what movie did you guys see? All the best!

That's so true man! And yes that's the place. Really nice. We saw wonder woman. We both liked it.
