Day 22

I wasn't sure how Father's Day was going to go. We went to visit the in-laws and went out for lunch to Ryan's. Now, with it being food bars, I was worried about the options I would have, and for good reason!!! About 80% of the food there was NOT Paleo. It was awful! There was the steak, and grilled chicken, most of the salad bar, and two sections of fruit, and that was all that was decent to eat. The rest of the food, on the other 4 food bars was definitely NOT anything I could eat.

And the good part was that most of it wasn't really all that appetizing! Looking at all that GREASE and slop that everyone else was eating just grossed me out. I had no desire to eat any of that nasty stuff. The dessert bar was harder to pass up, but not so difficult that I gave in. I didn't get any ice cream, candy, pies, or any of it. I had one partial spoon taste of my husband's banana cream and that was my "dessert" along with my pineapple and strawberries. One thing that was tempting were the buttered rolls sitting in the basket immediately in front of me! I had to really work at not grabbing one of those!!!

All in all, it was a good day and I was happy that it was fairly easy to stick to my Paleo plan even though the majority of the food around me was not Paleo. I suppose that being surrounded by almost all fat people may have helped. In fact, two men that were there had to be well over 400 pounds. They were ENORMOUS!!! It was shocking that they could even walk! It was sad to see that.
