First time back at a restaurant.

[Teachamy 1,042]

Well, a coffee shop really. One of those shi-shi poo-poo places where people sip from gigantic bowls of frothy goodness and munch on pastries, muffins, and biscotti. Was really my cup of tea. Literally. I am on the no-coffee plan for 2 more months, so there I sat with my pitiful little pot of herbal tea.

Despite my insane jealousy of people drinking the coffee I so desperately wanted, I felt oddly empowered. I watched my co-workers complain about their weight on one hand while shoving in a chocolate croissant with the other. For lunch, they both had huge plates of pizza with thick crusts. I snuck in a couple of string cheese sticks, one for Breakfast, one for snack. For lunch I ordered a cup of vegan chili. I felt satisfied, strong, and had enough chili left to bring home for dinner. They felt sluggish and bloated, and ate far more calories for Breakfast and lunch than I will eat in 2 days.

So yes, even while eating out, the plan works. i feel less scared about being able to make it in the real world. And I must admit, I am really looking forward to being jacked up on caffeine again. (A skim latte, of course!) I am a sleever hear me ROAR!

Best,

Amy

When I was on my 2 week Protein regimen before surgery I went into the 99 restaurant with my hubby (my favorite!).

I just got done with my preop and realized it was noon time and thought oh crap I need my 1 cup veggies or lettuce. So He needed to eat and I needed my few bites so away we went. I ordered basically a bowl of lettuce took a few bites and that was that. But MAN the popcorn smelled Glorious! LOL Way to go with self control I say! Keep up the good work!!
