SOMETIMES IT’S HARD… Last week was my girlfriend’s birthday and before we went to her party I ate a meal (like I usually do) and we did a pit stop at COSTCO. While I was there I picked up some vegetables (to bring home) and a veggie tray to bring to the party to ensure I had something to snack on. Normally I would have my one guilt-free meal per week to work with but I’m preparing for some upcoming opportunities so having cake was not an option. But if I did have that one guilt-free meal then I would have used it to enjoy some homemade birthday cake. The cake was tempting, looked delicious, and smelled even better. It was a homemade EARL GREY tea cake and I know it was delicious based on the moaning and eye-rolling in the room. I wanted to have a piece but like I said I couldn’t. For me personally it is a lot easier to say “No thank you” when there is incentive or a goal I am aiming for. My “No thank you” will make more sense soon and my friends who hosted the party know what’s ahead and completely support my journey and even went ahead and froze a piece for me to have in the Fall! How sweet and thoughtful! Nothing replaces people genuinely supporting your journey and lifestyle! I’m grateful.
