Today is my DH's family reunion. Talk about stress
But I have a plan. I'm taking a huge green salad of core foods, a huge fruit salad of core foods and if I can't find anything else to eat, I will be fine with that. But I am sure that someone will bring a meat and other veggies. As I said on another thread, I will skip the dessert table, not because it is not on Core and I'm restricted and deprived but because (1) I know it is not a healthy choice, (2) it is not worth the points to me, (3) I found out years ago that desserts don't taste as good as they look, and (4) I know from experience I will feel physically sick afterwards. I learned that on winning points, I just gradually conditioned my body to accept and crave sugar again. We run with a BAD crowd that cook out and eat out a lot and we go because we "don't want to appear antisocial" and because DH loves that Chineese food (hate it myself, all that sweet chicken and stuff, yuk) and because I'm lazy and like to get out of cooking
But come to think of it we were invited last week and we declined because (1) I was doing so well on the plan and Chineese food is not Core friendly and (2) I didn't want to spend $25 to celebrate someone else's wedding anniversary! Besides it was on a weekend night and we have to get up at 4:00 in the morning and us old folks need our rest!
I hope everyone has a good day.
