I survived our beach trip being compliant. well, a few snags, but moving forward trying to not get bogged down by them.
Snag #1: ate a scallop sauteed in butter. forgot the ghee at home, the local store didn't carry it. husband separated out the butter when cooking fish but not the scallops. felt terribly guilty after eating it. felt a lil funny but wasn't sure if it was the dairy or the guilt. I think my husband finally "got it" that I'm trying to get all of these foods out of my system, so no, I can't have just a little even one time.
Snag #2: one family member seemed to question my eating through most of the trip. the family in general didn't like how much I questioned the waitress when we were out getting seafood. I was gracious and she was trying to be, too, but didn't get my order right (fish cooked in butter instead of olive oil)
Snag #3: did some grazing, eating with family. compliant foods like almonds and pistachios and blueberries.
We planned all of our meals ahead of time, so I had good food and the family was helpful about separating out portions for me (hamburgers w/o bbq sauce mixed in, kebabs w/o dressing marinade).
I guess I'm still a bit frustrated at how hard it is to get food when at a resteraunt. I know there are some restaurants that make it easier, but I just don't trust em. Even the double portion of green beans that were supposedly "just boiled" came out with bacon on them. I had a few then gave up.
