Ok I was worrying a bit about this weekend as I had a meal out with school mummies and also a mothers day lunch to contend with and I wasn't sure I could do it. I almost didn't go on the night out as I thought to not go was easier than sitting with a lot of very slim glamorous mummies all of whom starve themselves all week but would definitely be eating and drinking lots at dinner. One of them is a very good friend of mine and encouraged me to go and that I would manage. I opted to drive so that alcohol wouldn't be my downfall, and I looked up the menu before going and decided what to have so I wouldn't be tempted by anything else.
I managed!! hurrah. It was a cocktail bar and steak restaurant in Ascot, and I knew the food would be good, but I selected a skinny burger, basically a very thin lean burger sandwiched between two grilled field mushrooms instead of bread, and served with a super salad instead of chips, and I actually really enjoyed it. I also only had one very small glass of wine, and declined pudding.
Then Mothers day lunch was at my sister in laws, and was a full roast, I didn't want to make a big thing of dieting as most people do not know I am doing it, so I just had a little bit of lamb and lots of vegetables, and one Yorkshire pudding, declined gravy, roast potatoes and roast parsnips, and ignored pudding. Also just had 1 1/2 glasses of champagne.
I can't quite believe it is going as well as it is, and that I am managing to make good choices. For the first time I am actually enjoying being on this journey.
