Hermiones Mom's Journal, 13 June 2017

Small victories: I had to take a client out to lunch today.
1. When my morning meeting ended early, and I was hungry, I remembered I could go to the nearby Whole Foods, and I staved off hunger with a whole milk maple yogurt for 160 calories.
2. I did research to find a restaurant that my client would enjoy, but where I could get something safe to eat. I picked an Italian place with several options that would work for me.
2. I got there first, and as soon as I sat down, the waiter asked: Would you like me to bring you bread with olive oil and parmesan, and I SAID NO, THANK YOU, BUT PLEASE ASK AGAIN WHEN MY GUEST GETS HERE.
3. My guest arrived 10 minutes later, and she asked for bread and olive oil, AND I DID NOT EAT ONE SINGLE PIECE.
4. I ordered small caesar salad with no croutons and steamed mussels, and when the mussels came with lovely crostini, I TOOK THEM OFF THE PLATE AND DID NOT EAT ANY.
Unfortunately, all this discipline left me really hungry, so when I got home I needed a snack of turkey and cheese.... but I'm still doing OK.

Nah, you're not doing OK, you're doing GREAT! Good job, eating out is one of the hardest times when working on your weight! But you pulled it off beautifully, so kudos for a job well done!

Great great job! turkey and cheese is a perfect snack! The no wheat/gluten is the thing that made a huge difference - and mostly losing dairy helped me too. You are doing wonderfully. How was the cauliflower?
