I wasn't intending to post twice today, but I feel like I need to talk about the restaurant challenge while it's still fresh. All I can say is, it sucked! We went to a great restaurant with delicious food, hearty portions, rich sauces, home made bread and rolls, loaded bakers, and creamy mashed potatoes! Yeah, it sucked not indulging in those things until my stomach felt ready to explode. I wanted to cry, several times throughout the meal. I felt ridiculous for being "one of those people" when I ordered my food. I felt like I was insulting my family, for not having a delicious hearty meal with them, and Unless you've been there, you can't even imagine how much it sucked. BUT I got through it! I had a nice piece of roughy, hold the pesto, and a green salad (that sadly I only got to eat a tiny bit of since I forgot to mention no croutons and crumbs were covering nearly every leaf) and you know what, I got through it. Such a small thing you would think, but such a huge accomplishment. And I did that. I made that choice, that while everyone else at the table was indulging in delicious smelling food, I made the choice to stay on this path for my health. Eventually I'll be able to sit down, and with keen knowledge, eat smart at a restaurant like this one. But for today, I win!
