"Please, take some more!"
Today I faced the hardest part of this 8 week journey - going out for lunch. We were invited to a friends place for lunch and although they know we have quit sugar, there was sugar everywhere! A small part of me dreaded it because it will mess up all I've tried to establish in this past week.
Then I stopped to think. How ridiculous! You just can't live life like that. Although I'm detoxing I can't live my life under a rock. I was still very careful about what I ate (I took sweet potatoes but left the roasties and gravy) but when they have made dessert especially for you it is incredibly rude to refuse it.
When I think back to my pre-detoxing self I am impressed by the small changes I was able to make. I said no to the biscuits, soft drink and crackers. Before I would've had at least 3 biscuits, 2 glasses of soft drink and probably seconds of dessert. So in a way I have been able to now limit myself. Baby steps I guess.
My tip for next time, when someone asks if we can come over I will say we're free for coffee!
