Slim at heart
Skinny girls r 4 wimps!!
Well, it's very late & I'm just in the door but wanted to post a very quick update about my meal out tonight..
..of coarse I stuck to my plan & it was all fine, had my soup before leaving, a green salad for starters (only had a little slip up- 1 cherry tomato) with no dressing, a steak & mushrooms for main course (no sauces) & a bit of salad & a black coffee for dessert.. oh ye & I only had sparkling water to drink the whole evening..
I am happy with myself even though my CB is telling me I could have done better ie not eaten anything, left half the steak, not had the mushrooms etc etc but I think I did bloody well anyway.
I'll be honest, it was extremely hard especially during the starters as everyone was sharing their food & it all looked so nice (deep fried mozerella, chicken nachos, spring rolls etc etc) & starters is usually my fav part of a meal but I held strong & the main was absolutely fine cos no one was eating much anyway after such big starters they were all full so I didn't feel deprived.
Funny thing was I still felt hungry after the food & it didn't fill me up half as much as I thought it would... a bowl of CD chicken & mushroom fills me up so much more...feel a bit sick now though!
Had a great time & not drinking wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be either..I just pretended to be drunk like the rest & no one noticed, I was driving anyway, always a good excuse!
I do have to mention 1 thing though, a HUGE THANKS TO GEN who supported me all the way with textual encouragement & texting back took my mind off the food (so rude I know but whatever gets you through eh?), honestly I don't think I could have done it without you Gen it made all the difference... thanks so much!
So that's it, I was dreading it so much (so stupid to be scared of food!!!) but my first hurdle is over.. now back to SSing all the way tomorrow, I just hope I haven't knocked myself out of ketosis, we'll see!!
Night all xxx
