I went to a mardi gras pancake dinner last week. I don't eat pancakes, I just went there for the fun of it. I wore beads, talked to people and had a great time. There will be times when you go to parties and events and the only food available is high carb food. What i would suggest in those times is to eat before you go. There is no reason you should not be able to socialize just because you eat differently than other people now.
I also drank water there, water is a good option for a party. I got really hungry so i cut a slice of butter and ate that. I was not hungry anymore after that. I had a great time. I think i had 4-5 different beads on me.
It feels like I am seeing holidays for the first time as a low carber. And each holiday brings about some bitterness that I am not able to enjoy the foods that i used to. each holiday I feel is based too much about foods. So I am going to start making the holidays be about traditions. Mardi Gras about wearing beads. Valentines day about flowers and lint 90% chocolate because as a low carber, that is the only chocolate that i eat. I need more low carb friends to celebrate the holidays with...
Its time to get new traditions and to celebrate every single holiday with low carb foods and fun
