I'll have to catch up on all the posts tomorrow but wanted to report in. I'm back home from mom's birthday dinner out at the restaurant and I had 3 iced teas with lemon and Splenda, didn't eat the bread from the pizza but scalped the toppings off of 3 pieces, and didn't touch a single battered eggplant which was sitting directly in front of me (cause they ordered 2 for the whole table.)
I ordered a Caesar salad sans croutons instead.
The sister thing has blown over. I set up how we would sit so that there was no empty chair beside me or across from me, so that gave me a cushion from her. She was down the other end of the table but she wasn't angry and neither was I. I'm pretty sure my middle sister and BIL talked with her on the way, cause they picked up my mom and that sister and they all drove together to the restaurant.
All is well. Day 7 in the bag and still on low carb.
Sweet. Ttyt. (((Hugs)))
