mudpuddle Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 So, today is Day Sixteen for me and my first time dining out while on Whole30. I had decided a week ago to just not eat anything at my grandsons birthday dinner, which wasn't hard and kept me in control but today was different... I went into the city with a bunch of girlfriends for lunch and a play. I knew we'd be gone over seven hours so I'd need to eat! I started by making breakfast a little larger than usual as insurance against getting hungry. BTW, I have not been hungry even once since I started. Lunch today was at an incredible place with beautiful fresh food but also the most amazing desserts ever. I went online a few days ago and did a study of their menu and picked the halibut with a veggie purée sauce and seasonal veggies. I even had my son take a look at the menu online because he's an older, wiser practioner of Whole30 and travels a lot. His opinion was the same, pick the salmon. I have to say, it made me feel so much more confident to sit down at the table knowing exactly what I was going to order. Of course they placed the basket of freshly baked, rustic bread right in front of me but I refused to even look at it. My dinner came and was both beautiful and delicious. I enjoyed every morsel of it too. And then came the dessert menu... My friends were all very supportive and understood ahead of time that I would not be partaking of that course. Instead I ordered a cup of black coffee. The desserts arrived and of course they were passed all around the table so that everyone could try them. Here comes the most amazing part ever... I admired the looks of each dessert because believe me, at this place, they are works of art. Never, not even for a millisecond, did I have any kind of urge to take a bite of any of them. Keep in mind, I have been a major sugar addict for over thirty years and it was as though my stomach wasn't in any way sending me desires or wants. I happily drank my cup of coffee and as we were all walking out, I felt instead, a tremendous sense of accomplishment. Wow, that really felt wonderful! Equally as wonderful as getting into a size smaller pair of jeans this morning, comfortably. What a day!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeadowLily Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Your thread reminded me of Peggy Sue Got Married....when Michael Fitzsimmons says... Michael Fitzsimmons: I'm going to check out of this bourgeois motel, push myself from the dinner table and say, "No more Jell-o for me, mom!"
