eating out, and long weekends away from home..

I wanted to give an update and report on some success.
I had some setbacks a few months back after surgery, but am back doing well for a couple of months now.

After being compliant with the program, with every step, I fell in a routine of eating almost the same thing every day. One veteran said, Great but I am a prisoner of my food. Which was true, I was ok if I prepared my food but eating out gave me such anxiety. I avoided it when ever possible, and when I went I didnt enjoy it and worried about what to order, often making bad choices.
Also, had the same issues with goiing out of town with friends or family, I felt so out of place, the weird guy about his food.

Well, happy to tell you that I eat out pretty regular, at least more, a few times a week, without any issues, I can now look at a menu and and make it work for me. The right restaurant helps a lot, but even new places I can make work,
Completely no desire for sweets!

Also, recently went for a long weekend at the beach and took some staples to fill in where the group meal didnt work just right. And since my brain is healed (or mostly) I didnt feel like I was under the microscope! It was a group of 10 friends and everyone that noticed, took an interest, but no big deal.
It was the best weekend in a long time.

And yes potato at night, every night. :h2)
