Derailed by Birthday Cakes!

This weekend was very rough on my willpower.  I had two third birthday parties to attend with my daughter.  Of course I could have refused the pizza, hot dogs, and three kinds of cake, but despite my long weeks of self-discipline the little convincing voice of the Candida Monkey was loud and clear.  Some of the excuses that ran through my mind were "you have been so good for so long, you deserve a treat", "it's a party, you should eat party food", "you wouldn't want to insult the hostess" and so on.  Seriously, I thought I was over that.  Still, I am back on track with a  good solid plan for another Strict Week.  Honestly I am starting to like eating this way.  I am buzzing with energy and feeling very clear headed, even though I am nursing a 2 1/2 month old.  Oh I miss bread and cheese from time to time, and I have always had a sweet tooth, but I find that sweetened things are so much stronger than I remember- even pasta sauce!
