K, so I redid my 2 loading days and I'm on my 2nd day of my 500 calorie diet. I'm down 5lbs. from my starting weight so hopefully it will be a pound a day from here on out.
I'm having a really hard time being able to socialize when I'm eating like this. I keep getting invited to different activities, and to me it always feels like it revolves around food.
-My parents invited us to come out to where they are camping this weekend to have dinner with them. My dad wants to show off his mad dutch oven cooking skills. He described the menu (some kind of meat in a cream sauce, homemade buttery rolls, triple berry cobbler which uses a cake mix, butter, and a few cups of brown sugar and lots more)
-Annette's Tastefully Simple/Taste of Home?? Party which is all about sampling dips and trying foods. Then buying the stuff to make yummy fattening foods.
-Terry's birthday party. Lots of food.
-Enrichment- Holiday entertaining and baking. Bring your favorite holiday dessert and recipe.
-3 pampered chef party invites.
-Date night eating out and movies
-FHE Night holiday cookie plates
And the list could go on and on...
I know, I know I could go to these events and just not eat, bring my own food, or eat before I go and will power my way through it. But sometimes I feel like I would just rather stay home than go to the activity where there is a whole bunch of food and people eating food. I can tell this time of year is going to be really hard.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not that hungry. I do feel satisfied, it's just habit I guess. I'm so used to eating to have fun and right now it feels like everything that goes on revolves around food. AHHHHHH!
How are you guys handling the day in and day out of eating chicken, salad, apple. Chicken, cabbage, strawberries. Chicken, cucumber, grapefruit. etc. ? And how's your social life going?
