First time at a resturant while on NS.
I can't say I wasn't scared, because I was. I was really nervous. We went to this amazing italian resturant called Twin Trees in Syracuse which has deliciousss pizza, wings and pasta. I grew up on their food and even had my 18th birthday party there with tons of old friends before graduation. Anyway, I was really scared but I knew this was the test I needed. Did I have it in me to keep my hands off the tray of garlic pizza3 (heartbroken) and wings delivered to our table? My friends are becoming more supportive of my lifestyle change in eating, but sometimes forget and offer me some of their food because they see me just sitting there. I wasn't starving though. I ate my NS dinner and dessert before arriving, and only ate a salad at the resturant as my dinner vegtable serving. Thats right. I did NOT touch a single greasy wing or a pizza slice. Woo hoo. It was hard. I couldn't even look at the food honestly, because I was so scared I'd slip into old habits and forget and a few times I even wished I could just get up and leave but this was a get together with friends and I knew this wouldn't be my last time at a resturant, so I had to bite my tongue and suck it up. My salad was gone before the pizza even arrived so that made it a little harder but I loaded up on water and sugarfree gum and made it through my first dinner. ::sigh:: one of many to come. I take everyday and every challenge one at a time. My friends have even said they're jealous of my dedication to this and knew they couldn't do it if they were in my shoes. I'm really proud of myself. Skinny Britt here I come.
