The Fight

Last nite hubbster and I attended a fight party with neighbors. Mayweather vs Guerrero. I'm not a huge boxing fan and a I heard a glimpse of the menu and initially thought I'd sit it out, however realized I need to face my fears sooner rather than later.

Both mayweather and I spent most of the fight on defense. Him against guererro and me against head hunger:). That's not really true I walked in to a beautiful display of shrimp cocktail adorned over a margarita glass and immediately thought yes! That's low carb I can so have that and snapped back to reality remembering I was still on clear liquids- crazy how that temporarily slipped my mind, right? Once I came to the host came in with some bomb ass tropical frozen adult beverage and insisted I just have a sip. That was an easy turn down since I've always believed in eating, not drinking my calories. There were ribs and bacon wrapped scallops. In theory if I were in my Atkins days I would have been in seventh heaven.


Surprisingly it wasn't the end of the world. I brought with a bottle of water and a crystal light packet and nursed it during the night. there were mini pretZels .. Possibly my favorite fat free snack. Notice how the fatgirl mindset changes diets to accommodate what she wants to eat.

The head hunger is rough I think when you can smell what you can't have, but again I stress not being hungry really helps to diffuse head hunger. After the first thirty minutes I was just fine.

I'm proud of myself for stepping up and going because normally when Im on a diet I have a way of avoiding social events in fear of falling off the wagon and mot wanting to be tempted by all that i believe Im missing. I think it's important for us, in order to embrace our sleeves and our new life style to push our tolerance to accommodate a mixed environment. Finding comfort and happiness in the event and not the food. That's not to say we can't bring things that others can enjoy. After all we aren't the party poopers. Looking forward to being farther along past shakes and yogurt so I can bring a dish that I too can enjoy.

Today pushing my tolerance a bit and watching food network in between HGTV.

Will share any sleeve friendly modified recipes I encounter!

Have a great cinco de mayo!
