Going out to breakfast!

This morning I am going out to breakfast with my dietician, who is amazing and I love. We are going to Swami's cafe. And the challenge... No exchanges! No meal plan just picking what sounds good and eating it. This is a scary idea for me. Everything I eat is planned and measured. Not this morning!

I think that this will be a big step in my recovery - being less rigid with my food. Right now I use measuring cups for everything... Juice, milk, peanut butter, rice, pasta, sauce... You name it I measure it. Vegetables are an exception I usually estimate with them. But everything else gets the measuring cup.

Challenges this morning:
- not knowing what I'm having ahead of time
- not being able to measure things
- possibly using maple syrup! ( this is a huge challenge food for me)
- eating until I feel satisfied
- allowing myself to eat things that taste yummy
- eating my snacks and meals for the rest of the day, even though breakfast wasn't measured exactly

I am excited/nervous/scared but ready for the challenge!! I'll let you know how it goes :)

Have a lovely day!
