Setting Myself Up For Success

I have a hard time saying 'no'....especially when it's to a family member. My sister sells TS and she asked me to host a party. My first thought was 'I can't eat anything!'. I've found that to not be entirely true. Today, as I was preparing some of the items for tomorrow, I made notes about which foods had flour or sugar and which did not. A few of the dips I can have, as long as I keep my portions small. Instead of the beer bread, I am going to make myself a loaf of gluten free bread. The apple cake I have to avoid. But, my sister is wonderful. One of the recipes she's making needs noodles, so she got corn noodles and is going to make it all with that. I also got a bunch of veggies and she was also going to buy a fruit tray for something else to have that I could eat. I am so blessed to have family who is supportive of the change in my dietary needs. I'm confident that tomorrow will be fun. I don't have to worry about avoiding everything and setting myself up for a fall. Tomorrow is also weigh in day. Today is day 16 in recovery. I am doing well and I can be around food I used to eat and it doesn't bother me because I no longer crave it. I won't even sneak a bite because I know that is the road to quick destruction. I am amazed at my attitude change but obviously sugar and flour were having a negative impact on me, emotionally and physically. All glory goes to God for His mighty hand in my recovery. WITH JESUS, I CAN DO THIS!
