We went to visit someone my husband used to work with last night, for dinner. This is always a challenge for me given all my dietary restrictions. My DH set up the arrangements. He had told them our daughter was a vegetarian, since she joined us, but failed to mention my restrictions. The biggest challenge was the tomatoes and other nightshade vegetables scattered throughout the meal.
I was fine with eating what would work, but she obviously felt badly about it. But I think my clear comfort helped her feel a bit better. We did have a fabulous steak that was definitely on plan. But most of the veggies were nightshades...ratatouille, and gazpacho. Most importantly, the company was great! My daughter had a great time as well. The guy my husband used to work with is a bit of a geek, as is my daughter, so they got along great.
She had made a Pavlova for dessert. I hadn't had sugar in months, and decided this was worth the indulgence, and the risk with the eggs. Joints are a bit sore this morning, but no regrets.
Decided to record the ups and downs of my scale. What the heck. This is the journey.
Thanks to all who offered support and advice to my post yesterday. It was clearly heartfelt, and appreciated.
