You know things have changed when.......

You know things have changed for you when you can go to a party and not even eat anything and still enjoy yourself. My friend had a graduation party for her daughter and she served spaghetti(I know longer eat this, too many carbs and I can't do the noodles), green beans( wasn't feeling it, they were full of ham and potatoes), bread and cake. I even turned down the huge glass of wine she offered, but I still had a good time and enjoyed myself just hanging out with friends and family. It still surprises me how much I have changed physically and mentally over the past 6 months and I'm still a work in progess, but I am happy.

This is wonderful!  what a milestone!

Congrats on this, you have a strong will!!  

Thanks! I still can't believe I did it. LOL?

that is so awesome.  Congrats on all your progess

That was a really good day you had. Very nice.

I have found that family and friends can be very supportive. If I think food will be an issue when I go out, I just pack my little food bag and bring it with me. Nobody has ever been offended and have always been respectful when I tell them I simply can't eat those delicious things anymore. I'm so glad for your successful day.

Nice job! It's good to know that you can do social functions - and life for that matter - in a different and healthier way than before.
