I have eaten out several times on this diet, I had an awesome catered lunch yesterday and I have managed to stay on protocol everytime. Planning ahead is really the key. On my days out I have always had an apple, crackers, and legal salad dressing in my purse. Just ask for a salad (without cheese and croutons) and for protein, I've enjoyed grilled chicken breast, peppered sirloin steak, and grilled flounder. The catered lunch was the biggie though! I stood back while others got in line to get their food and I quietly walked out the door to my office. I had brought a salad with chicken. I called a friend and ending up going around to her office to eat and watch her baby while she went to fix her plate. We visited and I finally went back in. Everyone was finished with the meal, I started looking at paperwork, and no one realized I hadn't been sitting at one of the other tables eating. Yay me!! There will be another great catered lunch on Monday and there will be more people around than yesterday, but I'm hoping to make it work again.

This is VLCD 17 for me and I have lost 11.7 pounds. Some days have just been 0.3, but most are 0.6. And what's funny is that on the days I've only lost 0.3, I've been home and not eaten out! lol! Oh well, slow, as long as its steady, will work for me at this point!
