Okay, I am really proud of myself so I have to share...

I have only been adjusting to this new way of eating for a week. so it is all pretty new to me. Anyway I went out to lunch with some friends today and they decided they wanted to go to Panera Bread Company. So a month ago I would have eaten French onion soup in a bread bowl and a salad that comes with berries and FF dressing (although it is sweet dressing) or 1/2 a sandwich. A lemonade and a cookie or brownie of course. My point is LOTS of carbs.

Well today I went and had a grilled chicken Caesar salad (dressing on the side, I only used a bit) no croutons and a few walnuts instead (just for that crunch). Told them to keep the roll (so I wouldn't be tempted) Drank Water and skipped dessert!! It didn't even bother me that my friends ate huge chocolate brownies!!!

I felt sooo good about myself for not being swayed. This was the first real test for me and I think I handled it well!!

Just wanted to share!
