Last night I attended a family celebration dinner at Cracker Barrel. All of my meal choices were 100% spot-on even though everyone around me (except my diet buddy who was there also) ate like they always do. I enjoyed grilled trout with lemon, small side salad with vinegar and oil, steamed broccoli with lemon and 1 pat of butter and mixed veggies with 1 pat of butter. Proudly I maintained my direction proving that you can celebrate with family and eat in a restaurant without losing focus. Even my diet buddy did well in her choices so we quietly supported each other in our decision to eat healthier. Even though I was there to celebrate the joy of another, I celebrated my own victory at the same time!
Side note: the biggest challenge for me is more about breaking old habits rather than craving certain foods. Whole food simply tastes better to me and that's what I have to remember. Also interesting is now that I make my own mayo and salad dressings I am unwilling to put chemically created food substitutes into my body when I know there are healthier options available. Losing weight for me is more about changing my mental relationship with food (breaking traditional habits) and getting a grip on portion sizes because I do truly enjoy eating this way.
