If you're in P2 of HCG during this time, my hat's off to you! I am SO IMPRESSED! It's tough to be different and so "out there" with regaining control of your physical self. So, a few words of encouragement for you:
- You're strong! Stay strong and be proud of yourself!
- Your family is proud of you, even if you're not partaking the foods they are.
- You're absolutely beautiful. Go look in the mirror!
And, a few things to help you through:
- White Dark Cocoa
- Egg Noggin Tea & French Vanilla Stevia
- Make TWO desserts so you feel like you've got a choice. Make them pretty and showy so you feel like you're spoiling yourself. I recommend these: Orange Creme de Licious, Tart and/or Sweet Toffee Apple, or the Raspberry Jello (you can have a LOT with this recipe, too).
- Select a single fruit, make two desserts, but make them differently. So, a Tart Toffee Apple AND a Sweet Toffee Apple. Or, a Strawberry Jello (use the raspberry one and just use strawberries instead) AND a Forgo the Tequila drink. :) The longer you can stretch your "spoilmes," the more satisfied you'll feel.
- Make something decadent like the Savory Chicken & Apples with Garlic Zucchini.
- You can "drink" too - just forgo the tequila.
Where I completely expect that you'll stay 100% on protocol, temptation is greatest in situations where you've always done this or that. If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got. However, if you do decide to cheat, try to cheat within the foods you're allowed. Have an extra apple or an extra helping of HCG approved meat. It sounds a little silly, but it won't halt your losses for days to come. :) I tried it with that extra bread stick when I cheated.
But, most importantly, remember that the occasion is about love, friendship, giving, thankfulness, and emotions.
The meal is just there because we're all going to be hungry while we're enjoying each other's company.
Love to you and yours!
Happy Thanksgiving!
