I remember that date because I just came back from a mini vacation and was diagnosed the next day. I was at a theme park and I purchased a &quot;meal deal&quot; ticket which allowed me to eat all the food I cared to eat for the whole day! The night before that I went to Olive Garden and had about 6 breadsticks followed by a huge plate of pasta! Oh ya, I had some triple chocolate brownie cake thing for desert.
