Day 11

I haven't eaten a romantic meal with my husband in 11 days. Why do I equate fattening meals with romance? Well, it's the idea of a date. The meal usually starts off with a drink, and then slowly moves to a salad and entree, all the while lingering over conversation and discussing all aspects of our life. Tonight was different. First of all, I was not completely ready to give up one night of being a Nutritarian. I wavered back and forth between staying strict to my diet and being a fun partner. My relationship won out. (The one with my husband, not food) oh, wait a minute - maybe both. It's hard enough to abstain from meat, bread and oil. To do so and lose the support of your mate is hard. He would have probably been fine to eat and drink heartily alone, but I would have felt bad. It's probably just another hurdle to get over. So.....I broke Dr. Fuhrman's 6 week plan. Still, I did not eat anything like I would have in the past. I ordered a large salad with vinegarette on the side and a cup of lobster bisque. This is going to be a long week end.
