Yesterday, day 6, was hard. I was so hungry all day long. 5 minutes after an MF meal I would look at the clock to try to calculate when I could eat again. I had soups, and shakes, and my L&G and was still starving. I took a nap, and had one of my snacks and another shake. And then it was time for us to go to a Halloween party. It is one of our favorite parties, all our friends come out for it and it is super fun. But it is a potluck and most people do not bring healthy snacks. I knew I would be super challenged, so I looked at my husband and said, "Sorry hon, I know our costumes are a matched set, but I just don't think it would help me to go. It would be hard anyway, but on a day when I have the munchies - it would be Mission Impossible to stay on plan."
So, I stayed home. And had a salad, and a cup of tea, and eventually a brownie. I watched my beloved Giants win the third game, and Love Actually, and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and got texts from all our friends who were missing me. I got companionship without the challenge.
My dear husband went and came back with lots of stories of people asking about me but understanding my situation - rooting for me, in fact. And, he also shared that going as a Romney supporter without me as a Woman in a Big Bird Trapper Keeper was not the same. lol.
Some choices seem hard but end up being the best for you.
What choices have you had to make that ended up being super good?
