I did it!(by the grace of God) I successfully completed wedding weekend not giving in to temptation to have pizza, cake, alfredo sauce, chicken, donuts, piroshkys and other assorted delicacies. Don't worry--these weren't consumed in one sitting by those around me. I'm not saying that it was easy--I got pretty grouchy at times (the old sinful nature coming thru) but I felt good having resisted the temptation. One of the things that helped was to try and make sure I packed enough food so I didn't get too hungry, and also, we made a visit to a very special bakery: The Flying Apron (http://www.flyingapron.net/)
There are only a few things I can actually eat there that don't have aforementioned allergic items; however, I did enjoy a berry scone, berry tea biscuit, and quinoa bread. I decided I'm not allergic to garbanzo bean flour because that actually didn't bother me at all. I did buy a carrot muffin but after one bite realized that it had coconut in it which wreaked havoc with my stomach. Alas...
Even though the treats have been nice, I need to make sure they are in moderation so that I can continue the weight loss. The scone and biscuit were sweetened with evaporated cane juice so I'm definitely feeling the effects of the sugar. Some of the others are sweetened with brown rice syrup and maple syrup which are much better in my opinion (although agave is my favorite). The quinoa bread doesn't have any sweetening although it's pretty dense so I'm not sure I'll be eating much of that at one time anyway...
The adventure continues!
