Re; The food issue for tomorrow - I did not eat sugar for a year and 1/2 and often ran into dietary conflicts at social events which I think sometimes were misinterpreted so I started bringing my own finger foods. this way it was obvious that I was not just making up a story to avoid their cooking nor drawing attention to myself often causing the hostess to scramble to accommodate me. I'm so proud of your commitment and willingness to take care of yourself.Jilliene Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634260991789944604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2218631214688838128.post-53295801562386349632009-06-06T17:57:24.232-04:002009-06-06T17:57:24.232-04:00Love the pics to go with this post, esp. seeing th...Love the pics to go with this post, esp. seeing the ones you took in Italy, as it brings back so many memories! I can't believe you are on day 6 already. That's great! The first few days seem to be the hardest. I haven't done South Beach, but I ate much better last week and then I broke down and bought a frozen meal for lunch one day because I had nothing in the fridge at home and it was getting late. I didn't want to...but...UGH! Anyway, it felt gross to eat it. After eating good things, or things that are good for your body, you don't even want all the gross processed stuff. Now BBQ's, that might be a hard temptation. You could always bring your own veggies to grill...grilled veggies are so yummy anyway! I know you'll do great. Have fun and keep looking forward!Wisconsin Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02126902969299740691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2218631214688838128.post-70550854833309411112009-06-05T22:50:40.812-04:002009-06-05T22:50:40.812-04:00mad props for doing this diet. i honestly do not k...mad props for doing this diet. i honestly do not know what my body would do if i tried to de-americanize it. <br /><br />have you tried drinking the fresca out of a wine glass? or is that a faux pas?jenhttp://tinyurl.com/sparkleshinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2218631214688838128.post-77851769268145888572009-06-05T11:17:05.681-04:002009-06-05T11:17:05.681-04:00Hey Girly girl.

If you cheat just get back up on the wagon at the next meal and don't beat yourself up.Chiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420482142506552992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2218631214688838128.post-34368546669291061202009-06-05T01:01:31.200-04:002009-06-05T01:01:31.200-04:00And bring a "backup" meal in your purse ...And bring a "backup" meal in your purse - almonds, cheese, some celery, stuff like that - in case you don't get enough food to eat at the meal. <br /><br />Good luck - hang in there!summerdavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489545137349812596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2218631214688838128.post-81114980579254736302009-06-04T23:36:05.151-04:002009-06-04T23:36:05.151-04:00Don't go and not eat their food.

I think it is okay to tell them that there are certain things you "can not eat", and if they are hospitable at all they will want to make things that work for you. I've never minded cooking for my vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, anti-inflammation diet friends. I don't think you have to justify yourself too much..... like you don't have to distinguish that it is a diet versus allergies or vegetarianism. And what you are asking for is probably EASIER to cook than other things. Let them know that you don't expect anything special and can happily eat huge quantities of spinach! Maybe you'll luck out and get a gigantic pile of radishes!Ingrid Parmeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06750986890691646842noreply@blogger.com
