My first time going out to eat after re-committing to this WOE. I could have done without the bread. I am not sure if the bread is regular plan or not. I am sure it has oil in it. Either way, the next time I eat there I will pass on the bread. My friend I went with, who is type 2 and has health issues, ordered brisket which is one of my favorite things. He also knows about my struggles lately with food and the ups and downs with my new career plus there is some craziness going on with my kids. As far as work goes, these last two weeks were more down than up. I am going to evaluate going out to eat with him. The conversations during our meals have gotten stranger the past few months. The strange thing he did yesterday was he was sort of gloating that he ordered the brisket dinner and how much brisket he got. Then going on and on how great it was, "better than steak", and then tells me something like since I have done so good eating on plan that if I ask nicely I could have some. WTF? I handled it good. I told him I had brisket before and I am sure theirs is good, but I like the food I ordered, which was really good. He has never been like this. This might seem crazy, but in reviewing the past year and a half, there has been a feeling of almost jealousy that I was able to stop with the shots and pills. I really never noticed it, but looking back, I can see it. He has liked the fact that I have been eating SAD with him. I know I have tried to push him towards this WOE, I guess I never noticed the push-back to eat SAD
