I regret having to go off plan as often as I did. I ran out of food before pay day and then when I went home to visit my ill Mom I just didn't follow it. We thought she was going to die at that time. I admire any one that can travel and diet.
How do you do it??? I am hoping that it won't happen again. I find it affects me the most mentally. I need to focus.
I have been eating at an Asian restaurant. I have avoided the sushi because of the white rice they use. Instead, I have the meats like grilled salmon and crabmeat cheese (something or other--it is good!). I avoid the lo mein noodles (which I miss) and eat lots and lots of steamed vegetables. I have eaten the fortune cookie although I didn't during Ph 1.
I prefer a steak house where they serve a buffet when I go out to eat. The one that we go to has all that I need. I get baked tilapa, lean sirloin steak, lots of steamed vegetables or beans, and they even have no-sugar dessert choices. I eat what I want and my DH eats what he wants.
I don't feel deprived in either place. I am afraid to try any of the other restaurants since I never found much I liked
before I started SBD.
Jilly you sure sound on fire, girl! I am so proud of you being so proactive. I have realized that I need to get in that mindset no matter where I go or am. Next time I go back home (which I hope will be soon) I am bringing my SBD food in an overnight bag. I just felt self-conscious about standing out. How dumb is that?
I am not a person who drinks at all so alcohol has not been an issue for me.
