59Carol's Journal, 29 Nov 18

I did awesome yesterday. I have been working on a big family meal since Monday. Supper was last night. We had 13 people for supper - a vegetarian and one person who doesn't eat pork. So the menu was Rouladen (two pieces with no bacon), gravy, traditional German purple cabbage, vegan baked beans made from scratch, mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli and homemade maple walnut layer cake with meringue frosting.

What was awesome? I ate well under my calories while enjoying my meal. I happened not to eat lunch as it worked out that I had a late breakfast and supper was going to be earlyish. I even ran out of time to make my morning tea. The part that was awesome is that I ate sane sized portions of everything and was satiated. I felt the impulse to have more because the food was good and the 'party' feeling was there. I did not have seconds!! (Except when I was cleaning up I did have a half piece more of cake!) Since I didn't have lunch it was tempting, and I would have done this in the past, to tell myself I could eat twice as much. Good on me!

Thanks LZenn. It is a big step forward for me to know when my portion was reasonable and to just let it be especially in a party situation.
