I need to take a break from all social interactions involving food. The key to my success in the first month was self-discipline, but that discipline has been wavering, and it's pretty clear the failure point sits squarely on the convergence of friends, food, and alcohol (pick any two).
Jack and I have one more event we committed to for this coming weekend (thankfully with the keto couple from a previous post), and then we're going to take a month long hiatus from eating at other people's houses, at restaurants with others, or cooking for others (which results in me just mindlessly overeating during conversation and too many leftovers I feel too guilty to throw out.)
It's going to take a little creativity to make sure we're maintaining our social relationships in other ways, but it just needs to be done. This is the second week in a row that I'm looking at a weekend food log that is either way over, or I can't even begin to log because the foods are so unfamiliar and I have no clue how they were prepared. I'm already frustrated that this week's effort will just be making up for the weekend instead of making progress, and if I don't get out of this pattern, I know I'll end up giving up.
So, sorry friends, but I'm done for a little while. I need to put me first.
