Everyday Systems

Hi all,

I am day 4 on the plan with 3 successes. I started Sunday. I was posting in general discussion by mistake.
I am happy to be able to eat meals without worrying about how many calories are in the oil in my dish. It got to the point where I was about to ask my husband, who often cooks, to count tablespoons of oil and ingredients he puts in his meals. Glad to have a more socially acceptable diet. Dinner portions look a little big to me, but I will weigh myself in a month or so to see if I should introduce a mod.

Day 4 was a success!

Portions felt more normal today. Had some lightheadedness between meals. Maybe the answer is more protein? I'm not sure.

. Tomorrow early morning I am leaving for a one month trip to China. I am excited and simultaneously nervous. (First time out of the country)

bon voyage! and have a great time in china!

Thanks for the well wishes!

Thursday was a success. Unfortunately, Friday was a failure. I was offered cut up fruit outside of mealtime and I accepted. Knowing that i failed I had also a small second helping of tofu and green veggie. Was totally delicious, and obviously not a hideous failure.
Need to be better at politely declining. It's hard though, because i am a guest. Maybe virtual plating while in China is a solution?

China is great so far. Suffering jet lag, so a little tired.
