I resisted!!!!!
Yesterday it was my birthday, and my best girlfriend of 45 years standing invited me to dinner at her house to celebrate. Well currently I am nursing my husband, who is undergoing a gruelling course of chemo and welcomed her invitation..... to get out of my house. However my girlfriend is a fabulous cook, and moreover disapproves of dieting in any shape and form, even though she, herself is a good 60 lbs overweight! I am into day 5 of the Atkins Induction for the second time around, and so far am doing really well, and believe I am already in ketosis.
So I had 2 challenges to face: firstly not to seem as if I'm dieting and secondly how to resist her food? I haven't told her I'm on the Atkins plan, as I know she'd disapprove, and really I don't want to hear it!
Before I left my house for hers, I ate some ham with some mayo, just so that I wouldn't arrive starving, and consequently eat whatever she serves me. Well it worked! We had a prawn mayo and avocado starter, which knowing was legal, enjoyed hugely. Then she served chicken breast, a sausage ball, with a mountain of veggies and potato, smothered in gravy. I picked at the chicken, ate the sausage ball, ate a little broccolli, and left the rest. I also declined her marvelous dessert, for which I am really proud of myself! Yaaaay!
