:joy Our neighbors invited us and another couple over for dinner/drinks and cards last night - it was steaks on the grill and the neighbor that invited us is a good friend and knows I'm doing Atkins so I knew there would be good veggies/salad there so I wasn't really worried. The other neighbor that came over made this WONDERFUL looking potato casserole dish AND a HUGE dish of brownies for desert..not to mention the Captain Morgans and diet coke (my favorite) that was there too!!

I did NOT cave..even after my stressful week, my ready to cave in post yesterday - I DID NOT LET THE FOOD WIN!!! Not ONE bite of ANYTHING that shouldn't have crossed these lips! Not even CLOSE!! Dang am I proud...this is a MUCH better feeling that what any of that would've tasted like and the guilt that goes along with it! :yes

Way to go!!! I'm a fellow 'instant gratification' girl, so I know how difficult that was for you. You did it! Keep up the great work, and you'll be at your goal in no time.

Oh boy! You should be proud! I too know how hard that sort of thing is! Went out to dinner with some Italian farmers the other day... they always do about eight courses... just for normal friends... no one special... anyway... I had to avoid bruschettas, pizzette, two types of pasta, and a cake that looked to die for. And that country wine..... Oh my!

They all thought I was crazy...but there we are! At least they weren't offended.

Anyway, the chicken cooked on the fire was great! So was the salad and veg. The ribs...deeeelishhhhh.... but the mineral water was the pits!

At the end of it though, I felt just like you: damn proud!

YAY!

Happy losing!

Yay to both of you. Nights out with friends can be really difficult. I always ask to sniff people's food, I get a few strange looks to start with but when I explain that half the tatse is in the smell and that after a good noseful I don't feel the need to consume, they pass the plate under my nose :joy

You should both be very proud, I know I would be!
