Patting myself on the back, I successfully maintained through the past weekend of social diet traps ( book club, lunch with out of town sister, neighborhood party, church women’s holiday dinner, and a Steeler party). For the last event, I offered to take a salad if someone else would cook for the heartier appetites. I had spinach, fat-free feta, blackberries, cranberries, pears, candied pecans, and low fat trader Joe’s dressing. The woman who brought dessert made seven layer cookies which I normally have problems resisting but she made them without nuts. I convinced myself after a very small sample that I just didn’t like them without the nuts, so I didn’t eat more. Now, to strategize for the coming week of more serious parties, my son’s homecoming, and my H’s birthday.
