I do not vary from the program because I can't or my sugar will be messed up. I traveled 12 hours to get to my family in Florida. When I stopped for gas Monday morning, I offered to go to Denny's or Shoney's but they wanted to sleep instead. SO, I was stuck trying to find my breakfast in the gas station. I did it!!! I bought a small bag of roasted almonds and ate two handfuls out of it along with the sausage from a sausage biscuit. I threw away the biscuit and just ate the sausage. When we went to my ABSOLUTELY all time favorite rib place here yesterday, I ordered the ribs with no bread and my two sides were collard greens AND...... collard greeens. They were so good! Of course, I have leftovers for today. I just cannot eat as much as I used to when I lived here. I'm so glad to see such a positive change in my life! It makes me feel very proud of myself. There is a waitress at the rib place that became a good friend of our family because we went there so often. Her name is Brenda, and she is also one of my facebook friends now. She has been seeing my facebook posts about FTS and the pics of the food I posted. She told me yestserday that she went to the Fat to Skinny website a few weeks ago and ordered the book! Then she commented that she felt after reading it that she doesn't have time to "do the program!" I told her that it may have seemed overwhelming at first, but I have found that it's actually very easy and NOT time consuming at all. I recommended that she come here to the reader's forum and find out some of our tips and shortcuts and RECIPES!! She was encouraged by this and may even be reading this post! Who knows? (love ya, Brenda!)
