I could not ask for better and more selfless friends. Today was a very long day...starting at 6 am...and stretching out to when I came in the door, around 10 pm. I like to avoid days like this because so much time away from the silence and healing quiet of home leads me through so many temptations that I no longer stand strong. I worked hard at maintaining the appropriate number of calories today. I also knew that I would be having dinner with two friends this evening, so I planned yesterday to get my complete workout in so that I would not feel guilty about not doing it today.
Here is the great part. My friend (the one who was cooking), asked me specifically what I was and was not eating. She really listened. She cooked a delicious meal with lean meat, plenty of vegetables and a healthy carb side dish. She did not prepare any dessert either, which was a sacrifice for her. She did it without complaining and with a great supportive attitude. She did not even tease me when she saw me writing down what I eat in my food journal (which I carry everywhere). It was a wonderful and gracious evening. I felt respected and supported and returned home with not an ounce of guilt. I came home knowing that I have some wonderful friends. They are a rare gift.
