One Last Day

Today is my last day.

These last couple of days have been some of the hardest of this experience. I don't know why as I approach the end all the foods that I can't have start to look amazing and the thought of making one more healthy meal seems so unappetizing. Yet I have persevered, and I am very proud of my accomplishments. My willpower has won out, even though I didn't see the results that I had hoped to see. I will finish this race.

Just one more.

One more breakfast, one more lunch, one more dinner. I can do one more day.

I am looking forward to eating out, eating with friends, and not having to give an order at the coffee shop that took 15 minutes to communicate (plain oatmeal, no sugar/salt mix, no milk). I hope I can retain some sort of the appreciation of how simple it is to just be able to eat whatever I want, even if I choose not to eat certain things. I am excited to try some new recipes and not have to figure out a bunch of substitutions.

It has been an adventure, but I am ready to get back to normal life. That is enough of an adventure for me!
