Saturday I had to leave the diet side.
It was our wedding anniversary and my wife and I celebrated the steakhouse. This week the diet is hard!

    I think that it's all about moderation. Enjoy your nice evening out, try to make good choices and then just move on to the next day. Once I gave my self the freedom to just let it go and move on I cannot tell you how much better I am doing with weight loss and feeling better. I used to beat myself up so badly with any "bad" meal I ate until I finally realized none of the people I know who are fit and healthy do that, they just move on to the next day, work out and eat healthy the majority of the time. It was a real revelation to me to stop letting food control how I feel about myself.

    Why is this week's diet different than last week, no need to "make up for" your anniversary dinner, if you are, you're doing it wrong

    I think that you need to adjust your thinking to match your eating habits.

    If you are only considering this a diet, then where does life fit in when the diet is over?

    This should be a lifestyle adjustment, and in life, everything shoudl be able to fit - food wise.

    My husband and I went on a date night last night, we shared an appetizer platter (which was mostly deep fried treats), and then we ordered our entrees and each had a drink. I don't eat like that everyday - but, I made it work (shovelling snow on Saturday, and a 30 minute workout on the treadmill on Sunday) and I made sure to listen to my body - I was full so there was no need to eat the french fries, and I opened up the 2nd half of the wrap I ordered and just ate the grilled chicken caesar filling. I didn't feel deprived of anything, and I certainly had no guilt about enjoying a night out with my husband.

    Steakhouses, date nights, wine, beer and wings with the guys - they all have room!
