Day 4: Little Engine that Could

Ever hear of the phrase” Dieting is easy”?  Yeah, me neither.  I had my first Zone nightmare tonight.  That’s right “a Christmas gathering”.  Now being fairly new to this whole thing I had to prepare myself for the night ahead.  I ate my zone dinner and packed my last zone snack of the evening in my purse (I cut up a zone bar so I too could have a few “cookies” on my plate).  I also grabbed a handful of halls cough drops.  Not sure how they fit in the zone but I do know they make your food taste like crap after eating one.  I also know that they are better then all the desserts and wine would be for me on my current journey.  As we approached the gathering (pot-luck nonetheless) I told myself the entire car ride “it’s only 1 night, don’t ruin your success so far, you can do this”.  We arrived at the gathering, went inside and not to my surprise it smelled AWESOME!!!  In went the first cough drop.  First rule was to stay away from the food table.  What is that I see; Coffee!  Thank goodness.  I quickly got my first cup of coffee (not too good with a cough drop aftertaste) but I held it and smelled the flavor as I mingled.  Honestly I heard “I think I can “in my head rather then most of the conversations around me.  Whoever thought food was such an issue.  What a struggle it is to maintain self control within these surroundings.  “I think I can”.  I must have walked to the bathroom 10 times over the course of 2 hours.  To escape the smells, and due to the fact that I drink so much water these days.  A little more mingling (1 more cough drop) and it was FINALLY time to go.  After we left I sat in the car with a huge smile on my face.  “I knew I could”.
