OK, I've been on Phase 1.5 or 2 for the whole weekend! First, I went off Phase 1 as a conscious choice (with some friends I haven't seen in ages, at an African restaurant with I'm pretty sure NO P1 choices... no salads, the only veggies were really carrots and yucca...) Not saying I think it was the ideal choice, but given not going out to eat with my friends vs. eating pretty much Phase 2 (nothing crazy) I think I did OK.
Then there was the lunch at a friend's house. There, admittedly, I *could* have stayed Phase 1 but I ventured to the other side to eat & drink what the others were.
Since I didn't make any extreme carby/sweet choices, I feel just fine. Back on plan.
Congrats to all of you staying perfectly on plan!! I can do it on my own but have real difficulties imposing on others (such as changing a choice of a restaurant or turning down food a hostess made) to stay Phase 1.
Now I just have to decide if I RE-start the two weeks or just carry on. Also another gathering next weekend is going to pose similar challenges... I didn't weigh after the weekend but I think if my weight went up, that might be the motivation I need to just stick to the plan.
Since a friend thought I was
PREGNANT
yesterday, I think I need to just buckle down.
