USA (MN) Day 18 NFD I love reading all of the wonderful wisdom and encouragement that is offered to those who are struggling (and don’t we all on occasion?). Such kind and caring people on this thread!
I had a great meal when out for dinner last night. We ate at a Houlihans and I had the spiralized butternut squash lasagne, which was delicious, and a side salad composed of spiralized zucchini (courgette?) with olive oil, herbs, calamata olives, and cherry tomatoes. Oh, and a Long Island Iced Tea I should admit to. I went over my TDEE yesterday but it was so worth it. I ordered a spiralizer from Amazon when I got home and I intend to make all kinds of vegetable *noodles* this summer. I’m so happy to have something to replace pasta with.
To everyone struggling: a day (or two or….) of not sticking to the plan is not a failure. Just another learning experience. Only giving up entirely would be a failure, IMO. I’ve changed my 6 week goal from having a certain number of pounds I wanted to lose, to doing at least 2 FDs a week and doing them well, and learning as much as I can about making this a way of eating that I can stick to for the rest of my life. Thanks to all of you I AM learning so much!
Good luck to everyone!
