I am still suffering from the fried foods and breads. Its not easy when everyone around you is eating pretty much anything they want, and you are stuck at a place where you can't have anything. I went to Olive Garden on Saturday, and it was so hard to choose something because everything was pretty much pasta. The low fat meals they had were mostly beef, or other things that I don't eat. It sucks being on a diet, AND being a picky eater, because restaurants to have a very good variety. I settled for the Chicken Marsala and a double side of broccoli. It usually came with mashed potatoes and bell peppers. It was actually really, really good and I felt like I wasn't cheating. It was baked chicken breast with some kind of sauce. (I read the ingredients in the sauce before I ate it.) The chicken had skin on it, so I scraped that off, and voila, I had a nice meal that didn't go out of my strict diet range. I did eat some of the salad, but picked the croutons off. I didn't touch the breadsticks. (My mouth was watering from those bread sticks!) It was crazy, because it was the first time I had been out to eat since January 5th!
I am still in phase II, which will last another 2 weeks, then I move into phase III. I honestly feel amazing, and I want to continue on this journey. I am holding on to my faith, because it is not easy out here for a "Delicious" woman like myself. I have had so many times where I could have just outright cheated, and thinking well, I can just work this out later. I didn't want to take a step backwards. This is a new year, and a totally new ME. I have been working on my mind, body, and soul, and I can honestly say, I am happy. I feel at peace. So, shout outs to all those who are taking this year to work on themselves! I am right there with you!
