Special day at our local church today - lovely country fair style day with old fashioned food and entertainment for the children. Some of the food was oooo sooo tempting - but I withstood and chose instead to eat corn on the cob (no butter), I watched everyone else with cake, biscuits and sausages in bread with butter. But I can't go there anymore. This new lifestyle requires the old food lifestyle to bother me no more.
You know... it didn't and I feel great for being strong enough to say no to it all and choose wisely for myself.
So today so far I've had my usual breakfast: Muesli, yoghurt and fruit.
Lunch: wholemeal roll, peach and corn on cob.
Dinner: At the local Returned Servicemen's Club: half size main meal - roast beef, roast potato and vegetables. Yummy and well within my food allowance. What was outside the food allowance for the day but covered by savings during the week was the serving of 1 scoop of icecream on fresh fruit salad.
It worries me though, can I always choose like this because? iI I want to keep the weight off in future I will always have to choose small servings. I watched my two best friends tuck into full sized meals - don't know what was on them, but it would have blown my eating plan out of the water for sure. I am just going to have to get used to this, I don't want them to feel awkward about what I am doing because I love to go out with them and socialise. I don't think they even noticed that my plate was not much bigger than a bread and butter plate - and that's how I want it. (Oh yes - it was much cheaper to, I should think of the money I am saving - drank water only as well.)
