BBQ at friend's house today - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

We are going to a cookout at a friend's house this afternoon. They are having hot dogs and brats so my DH and I are going to bring burgers and cheese and I made a pasta salad using Dreamfield's pasta (5 digestable carbs per 1/2 cup dry(1 cup cooked), cucumbers, italian dressing, ham, cheese, etc. I am nervous because I feel like I am going to gain tomorrow even though I am still on track.

We are now on OWL (but treating it like induction with the 20 carbs).

It is supposed to be a whopping 100 degrees here today so we are going to go for a short walk (about 15-20 minutes) with the dog and then go to our friend's pool with them this afternoon.

Good luck at the cookout today! Make the best choices you can and don't give in or give up. Even if the scale is up a little bit tomorrow, you still have the rest of your life to get it back down. Even THIN people gain weight once in a while. We can, too.

Do you best, that's all anyone can ask of you... including you.

Don't be nervous, that all sounds fine. You've prepared in advance, that's all you can do. And enjoy your barbecue.

hmm BBQ.. my favorite.. sounds like U are gonna having some wonderful choices.. BBQ and Atkins diet is very friendly.. Just remember to tell them to hold the sauce and or bring your own Low Carb Sauce..

you will be all right. when its hot i find that i can't eat that much, either. just get your game plan organised and show up confident that you will stay on track.

May seem silly, but I go to BBQs and parties having eaten at home an hour beforehand. This takes the edge off and I eat less at the BBQ, especially if its food I didnt personally make. People make BBQs special, not the sauce. 8)

Well I am happy to report that I did wonderful yesterday. I had a cheeseburger (no bun or sauce) and I had some pasta salad (the one I made with the dreamfields low carb pasta). I ended up gaining .2 of a lb but I really wasn't discouraged.

One more obstacle to over come in this WOE!!!!

Thanks for your support!
