Today I went to a buffet called Souplantation with my dietician. Huge challenge but I conquered it!! I feel so proud. I was really overwhelmed but got through it and had no behaviors after. First we went through the salad bar. I got a salad with carrots, onion, pickles, red pepper, and pepperoncinis. And I had honey mustard dressing and sunflower seeds and croutons... Not thing I would usually put in my salad. Then I had a little bowl of ginger soup with tofu and veggies in it... Half a sweet potato which was delicious.. Then my dietician decided I wasn't challenging myself enough so I got a small bowl of Alfredo pasta..: big challenge! And then a blueberry muffin (yum) and then a teeny tiny ice cream cone with soft serve! I was comfortably full but felt uncomfortable with what I had eaten. But I fought through the discomfort, watched some tv shows, and moved on with my day.
I feel pretty proud. I think I handled a challenging situation pretty well. Now I have confidence that I can go to a buffet and survive! And guess what? We are on the way out to dinner. Out twice in one day!! We are getting sushi tonight. I like vegetable rolls, edamame, miso soup, and chicken teriyaki bowls... I think I'm going to go for sushi tonight!
What food challenges have you tried lately?
