My first question is When on the Medifast Diet, can you have diet coke? Thanks for any answer or 2. Another question I got... What a day..

I posted.

This.

Last night looking for some guidance on what I should eat for dinner. well, dinner turned out to be easy peasy. I ended up having the burger (no fixin's, no bun, LOTS of salad with dressing that I brought from home) and I avoided the bar..

Being on Medifast had been a breeze up until today. and most of my issues today were totally my fault. I didn't get to eat a proper intervals and ended up with a terrible headache. in fact thats why I am up right now, I cant sleep because this headache is like an annoying little buzz saw in my head..

We took our daughter to the mall this morning to have some pictures done. that caused me to skip my mid-morning meal. I wasn't happy about it but figured I would make it up somewhere. after pics, my daughter and husband needed lunch. I had been mentally preparing myself for this all morning. I knew they would be eating lunch at the mall.

I didn't want to do my L&G at the mall for many reasons but the biggest being that we were dining out that night..

I thought I was ok. but as soon as we crossed the threshold of the food court, the nerves hit me. Then my H went and got burgers for them and as soon as they unwrapped them, I freaked out internally. I got up and walked around the food court reading each menu and quickly went back to our table before temptation became too much. I took a bite of my crunch bar, my face got hot and I could feel the tears coming. I felt like I was being punished.

I had like, a 30 second meltdown, got myself together ate my bar and told H to call me when they were done, i'd be in hallmark..

I feel like a complete tool for getting so upset. but I have to give myself credit for pushing through and not giving in to temptation. it would have been so easy. and my husband, god love him, he is an enabler as much as he is a supporter. he just wants me to be happy. and honestly, even though I would have felt like I was missing out, I would have been ok with them eating that food if we had not been in the food court.



Even though this day was an absolute beast, I am really proud of the way I stayed OP. but i've also realized that my biggest challenges will be the weekends when I have less control over the schedule. definitely staying the hell away from the food court from now on!.

Thanks for letting me babble..
