I knew it was gonna be bad well in advance. We went to Cheesecake Factory. I wish I'd looked at the menu ahead of time though, as they now have a Skinnilicious menu that looked pretty good! But I had barely eaten all day to accommodate, and already knew what I wanted, so I didn't deviate.
All I really ate during the day was some Spaghetti-os that I shared with D. He had to be at work with me for a big portion of the day. So by the time we got to dinner I was starving. That might not be the best idea again, but I have such a hard time esp if around other people who eat typical. I did manage to only have one small piece of sourdough bread. Then I got the crusted chicken romano. Basically, parmesan chicken with spaghetti. I ate half the chicken, and then about 1/4th of the pasta (huge portions!). We did order cheesecake, but split a piece and I took exactly two bites and then put my fork down. That was GOOD cheesecake tho. lol I also had a glass of sweet tea to end my day at 2102 calories.
No workout today as we didn't get home til really late, but I feel like I was on the go all day just nonstop. Tomorrow will be back to the gym.
lol, those "typical" eaters...I've had to put a different spin on it...I tell myself I've done a lot of reading and research to reach the decision to eat differently than they might, and maybe they didn't read the same thing I did, or maybe they did and drew different conclusions, or have different values in their lives. All of those things are just fine, but it reminds me why *I* don't eat certain things, even if they choose to, and I don't feel deprived or restricted b/c of it.
ReplyDeleteBeing different from them helps me reach *my* goals, which are health and weight loss. Since they're already my friends, I don't have to eat the same food as them to gain acceptance and love.
Great day for you, despite your obstacles! Keep it up!
