Saturday- I can say no to cookies!

Yes, I can say no to temptation!
Today I did my usual running around to estate sales for my eBay business with a girlfriend and then we went back to her house and had a couple mutual friends come over for snacks. It was originally just coffee and cookies but being I can't have any, my friend told me to make some things I can eat while she was getting her kids ready to go play w/ friends.
I made a nice salad with cukes, tomatoes and mixed lettuces, I made some sauteed eggplant in olive oil with spices and a few drops of sesame oil and I made oriental green beans, which is a weight watcher recipe.
My friend made some sushi and edamame. Our other two friends came and we noshed and then after, she put out the cookies and coffee and tea.
On this diet, you can only have 2 restricted items per week so the only bad things I had was the green beans and eggplant and tomatoes. Did you happen to count those? It was 3 restricted things not 2.
Hey, I did not eat any cookies! And there were so many that looked so good! While they ate the goodies, I had black tea.
I am pretty proud of myself! I said no to dessert while my friends enjoyed it.
Although....and you knew this was coming, right?!....For dinner I made leftover pot roast and put it in gravy(not fat free!) and put some onions into the mushroom and collard greens because they really needed it. As you can see, I have a hard time sticking to the right vegetables! 3 restricted in one day and one forbidden?!
I figure that is better that eating sugar, yes, but I just can't seem to give up all the vegetables I am not supposed to have! I like cooking with onions!
I made my sweetheart corned beef and cabbage the other night and I am not supposed to have green cabbage either. How bad can cabbage be dammit! It's only 290 calories in a whole head! Buuut, it's 69 grams of carbs and 35 grams of sugar! Ack, now that I looked it up I realize it is worse than I thought!
And we will just try to ignore the gravy, right? I only had about a tablespoon! Let's just pretend it didn't happen!
