I think this might be my first NSV---->Had a block party with all my neighbors. food all around and I brought a shrimp salad (yum) I had about a fourth of a cup and had my Water bottle with me. One of my neighbors told me don't be shy. GET IN AND EAT..I had to laugh, I've never had people try to force food on me before. They were eating burgers,hot dogs ,deserts and alcohol. I was not even tempted to go there.

Throughout the night I got positive comments. What a journey!

I think temptation issue is one of the biggest NSV's. It's the one we worry about the most before surgery and with all diets or WL events of in the past.

To be able to change our eating habits and not be tempted by food laying all about, is a tremendous victory. It's the assurance that our lives have finally changed and food will not rule us anymore. Congratulations.

Congratulations on your NSV. So, what was in that shrimp salad.

Summer Peach Habanero Shrimp salad

Medium sized shrimp cooked and peeled

Chopped peaches add habanero sauce to preference

Chopped red and green bell pepper

Having a great time at a social function without having to stuff your face is definitely a NSV! Good job! And thanks for the recipe.
