Well, it's over! The big feast. I learned today that I could not only go to a huge Thanksgiving day feast and stay on plan, I could enjoy my time with our friends. We had 14 people at the dinner, and some of the best cooks I know brought all their favorites, all loaded with super-high carbs. I told myself before I got there today that I would be able to enjoy the day and I wouldn't leave hungry, even if it turned out all I could eat was roasted turkey!
I took my pumpkin pie made with Splenda, and scraped off the custard from the crust and enjoyed my slice...And again, it was an unexpected blessing that there was another person there also doing a low carb thing, who also brought "safe" food that I could enjoy.
I am in the zone for today, and it went really well. I don't know what puts me in the zone, but when I'm there, NOTHING can sway me. There are so many more days when I would say "Zone? What zone?" I'm really glad it happened to hit today.
