Moving right along

This week has been better in terms of settling in and feeling better about what I'm doing. No, I'm still not in LOVE with it. I miss milk. Cheese. And yes, beer. I don't miss bread, but I do occasionally miss pasta. There is a mac & cheese on the Medifast program that is similar to Kraft, but let's be real - Kraft mac & cheese is a sad substitute for something that looks like this:

Yeah. A little plate of heaven. That's mac & cheese with wild boar sausage from our favorite place to hang out. And even when I was really good at cleaning my plate, I couldn't eat all of it.

I digress.

So, I've been doing better. There really are only a few things that I've ordered that I don't like. The eggs still make me gag. I thought it was a Metformin thing, but no, it's a really nasty gross egg thing. And the cinnamon cereal... I can choke them down, but I'd rather not. Other than that, everything else is pretty average.

I won't lie, it's still a pain to be out with other people eating and drinking stuff that I'd rather have. This weekend is a challenge. Today we went up to the mountains and my husband had an amazing looking burger. I had an average burger sans bun and the veggies that came on the side weren't even ones that I could eat (well, I couldn't eat the carrots. I just don't like celery). Tomorrow we have a big Memorial Day BBQ at some friends. It's a potluck and there are always amazing dishes there. Sigh. I'll have one of my bars. Or something. Monday, at least, I have somewhat of a reprieve. We're headed to Rudy's BBQ in Colorado Springs. Yes, please! So, no, I can't have the sauce or the creamed corn - which is like crack, but I can have some prime rib and brisket and turkey and... yeah. You get it.

The thing is, I didn't get this way by eating well. I'm not going to lose the weight by eating like crap. I'm down 16 lbs in not quite 3 weeks (19 lbs from my starting point in March), so it definitely works.

But damn, that mac & cheese looks good.
