Last night a friend and I went to a mystery/dinner theatre performance. I had salad (no dressing) and requested ahead of time fresh fruit for dessert instead of the proffered cheese cake. The fruit alone was almost enough for a main course. It was chilled and beautiful.
For the entree I chose the vegetable lasagna. It was a serving as large as my hand. It was yummy. I ate the whole thing. The first time I have felt full in three weeks. Of course there was cheese and white-flour pasta and probably oil but I enjoyed it anyway.
I am such a black and white thinker but I won't let myself feel guilty. It just goes to prove that it is very difficult to eat out. If I had known the fruit was going to be so lovely, I would have just had that and the green salad. I figured they would just bring me a small bowl.
Lots of changes at once going on here. Getting off sugar is difficult enough. But also dairy and eggs, meat, oil! And starting an exercise program. Jeeeshh. What was I thinking?
I guess though I have been making small changes all along, but it still feels a bit overwhelming.
At least I am taking an interest in my health and the food I eat. The one big area in my life that definitely needs attending to.
