Yesterday, I posted to my group that I was feeling pretty good. "My resolve to stay on plan has held steady. I am so confident that I have even agreed to go to my sisters' on Sunday for our family holiday brunch. I originally told them I wouldn't be coming because I didn't think I could face the off-plan foods, but I've done really well in the face of off plan foods recently and think I'll be fine."
That was the morning. Then TOM arrived and my inner brat started whining and crying, whimpering and pleading, whispering and urging. She looked at my MF cupboard and wanted marshmallows in the Hot Cocoa and wanted bread to go with the soups. She wanted a Pint of REAL ice cream and she wanted a couple of shots to go with my pills for the pain. She wanted a burger with all the fixin's. She was hungry and wanted to EAT.
It SUUUUUUUUUCKED!
I ate my MF cereal crunch - hoping that would satisfy the junk food craving. Then a few hours later, I had some Chicken noodle soup, hoping the bottomless aspect of it would appease the need to eat and eat and eat. My L&G was the hardest - DH and I had planned to eat out of the fridge because I had cooked slightly too much for 3 meals this week, and there were left-overs (in perfect lean portions) that needed to be consumed; I would just need to cobble together a green. BUT our dear friends called and asked if we could meet them for dinner. I told him I couldn't go, the cramps were too much, but he should go and represent us. I had a big cup of mint tea and turned on some sappy Hallmark movies and played solitaire. I ate my left over lean and just didn't have the energy to fix my green.
I didn't do it. It is the first time since I started almost 2 months ago that I haven't gotten all my required elements in. I told myself I'd make a salad "later". But I never did get around to it. I was going to add veggies to some MF eggs for an omelet/scramble, but I didn't do that either. I texted my husband and asked him to go to our favorite restaurant and get me some roasted broccoli to go. He said he would if I'd call ahead and order it. So I called and they said they didn't do ToGo orders. WHAT?!?! Oh well. My friends offered to go with him and get a table and order the broccoli and then say, "Oops plans changed, can we get that to go?" But we figured it would take an hour or more on a busy Saturday. That plan was scrapped.
So, no green yesterday. No off plan foods, either. The inner brat won one battle, but I won the others. Does that mean I won the war?
