Take this weekend for example.... i went to Spokane Pride Fest and did not eat anything that i did not cook at home. Even when i went out that nite to Nyne i had water and the food i had brought. The next day I went to a friends daughters b-day party. again, i brought my own food, turned down the stuff that was offered to me. I did have some fruit but i knew that it was fresh, no sugar or anything added... so i was safe. The only thing that i would considered a cheat would be the one or 2 diet sodas i had instead of water.
The problem that i have with going to Any restaurant is that i do not know what is in it, how they cook it, what it is cooked in (pot, pan, skillet, grill) and with (oil, water, fat, butter). there could also be hidden sugars and salts that i just do not need right now.
Another thing people do is give me the "I feel sorry for you" look, like i am starving myself to lose weight and to get to where i want to be. Newsflash- i am not!!! i eat 4.5 oz of protein (example-chicken breast the size of my hand) 3x a day, a protein shake and a protein bar, lots of fruits and veges and 2 servings (1/2 cup equivalent) and lots of water! (It is called Eating Clean) Some days i don't feel like eating there is so much food. the only difference between what i eat and what everyone else eats is that mine is very portion controlled, no salt added, no sugar added and no dairy. which is why i cook everything so that i know what is in the food i put in my mouth.
Sure i wanna piece of pizza or a cheese wiz sandwich, but there is a time and place for that and now is not the time. one day i will have those things but it will be after i get to where i wanna be body wise and it will be in moderation. i will NEVER go back to what i was again..... i refuse to and i have the tools to get there and stay there.
