Ugh. I have never been a fan of this holiday, but this year i'm dreading it. I had been sick not too long ago and ate whatever i wanted (mostly peanut butter toast) and gained some weight, so I decided to go back on a 2 week strick induction period to get things going again. I'm halfway through now, but my boyfriends mother has called and invited us to dinner for V-Day. She made reservations at a place called Bocca di Beppo, which is very italian and all of their food is "family style." (One meal for the whole group brought on one big platter) So I wont be able to make any special requests or order something low carb. Everyone knows that i'm on atkins and it just really p$##es me off that this holiday meal has to come in the middle of my new start. I'm going to have to eat before hand and just drink water there and that really SUCKS! Well sorry to vent, but it's just so frustrating.
