Oh, it can be done… and we did it!
But with a lot of self-discipline of course. Since I’ve started this challenge my boyfriend has graciously taken up not eating sugar or carbs around me. So when they brought the basket of fresh baked French bread smothered in garlic butter we looked at each other and he says “what are we supposed to do with that?”. What can I say, he’s the best!
We went to a BBQ restaurant so meat was obviously prevalent. I ordered sliced tri tip and a salad with no sides. Yes, the waiter thought I was crazy since the sides were options from more bread, a giant fully loaded mashed potatoes, or French fries. They didn’t even have a broccoli or fresh veggie option. I digress…
Dinner came and it was delicious and much needed. I did dip my tri tip in the littlest of bit of their spicy BBQ sauce which may or may not be against the rules, again… I digress.
Dessert options came, and again the waiter was shunned and surprised. We both easily downed about 3 glasses of tall ice water. Paid the bill and we were off.
We can now say that 2 people can successfully go out to dinner and stick to their diet (together). I mean, I did choose a BBQ place, it would be harder to do at a Pizza restaurant but you’re in control of what YOU do, so if this is really what you want, make it happen and don’t give any excuses.
