I went out for a meal

[Kezzerbelle]

and I didn't eat...not a thing, I am so proud of myself.

It was a meal with old friends that i get to see often and I really really didn't want to miss out on the socialising and catch up.

I explained to everyone that I was dieting and that I would still love to come but couldn't eat.

It was at one of my favourite Italian restaurants and they didn't hold back and the scrummy stuff they ordered including pudding. But I had water and for a treat with the puddings I had a coffee.

I feel so lucky to have such understanding friends that support me, we had a good old chat. And now they all think I am amazing for sitting through it.

Right now I feel on top of the world, I had the most fabulous evening and once again it wasn't centred around food. This has been the second opportunity for me to cheat or make excuses to, but i am thinking, there are always going to be challenges that come up almost daily, and I have to stop making excuses...that's what got me here in the first place.

I feel stronger than ever, that i have now taken control and that I CAN resist the urge to just eat. Long may it continue.

sorry for babbling but I am so happy

I think that you're amazing too Kerry! Well done on managing to get through that meal and also for the strength that you showed at the Sunday lunch.....you're well on the way babes xxxx

Ps I look forward to the day when I go out for a meal and the food is unimportant to me and I'm only bothered about the company.....that's how my OH thinks and he's never been so much as a pound overweight in his entire lifetime! His view is that it's ONLY food.....

Thanks guys. I was quite worried this morning after i posted last night, I didn't want to come across as bragging if that makes sense.

But I did want people to know that it can be done. I am not gonna lie it was fricking hard, and not something i plan on doing often. But why the hell should I miss out on spending quality time with good friends and family, just because I can't eat or don't want to watch other people eat. and on both occasions I can honestly say I really didn't feel like I had missed out, but also I think my friends and family played a major part, every one of them has shown me amazing support. Yes and my diet was a talking point obviously but inly in a positive way.

 

[louisebell26]

youre not bragging at all,,if anything youre proving to us that it can be done and that we dont have to cave! we can all be strong!..plus the support is a massive bonus..keep it up.x

 

[SlimmerSu]

It's not bragging hun.. You are rightly proud of yourself, and i think you should go into the middle of your high street with a placard round your neck, and shout it out to everyone!! pmsl x x x

Tell me when and i will come and be your cheerleader.... That would be worth a laugh!! lol

You are inspirational x x x
