You did good. Be proud. It is so hard,I know. You could have had the potatoes and the wine and you didn't. You will survive. We all will. I just wish it wasn't such a struggle. The other day I had a "girls day" with my daughter, sister, and neice. We had a blast but I felt like I had to keep explaining everything I did. I questioned the waitresses about the food, ect.(we ate out for lunch and supper!) They teased me and said they thought I was addicted to water. Everyone keeps saying drink more water. I usually drink at least 100 oz. per day, sometimes more (1/2 my body weight in oz. of water). It seems the more I drink the more I want. We had a joke going that they would have to do an intervetion for me because I couldn't give up the water. Everywhere we went I had water. I even had a few mixed drinks and beers throughout the day but I had to have water at the same time. I know the alcohol isn't good for the diet but it was a fun and special day but I drank way more water than I did the alcohol. Sometimes I think it is embarrassing but then it makes me proud because I know I am trying to make the right choices. And it turne out, even though they teased a little, they were extremely impressed with me. My sister even bragged on me the next day about how good I was and how great I am looking. 

I'm with you on the wine. I know it keeps your body out of ketosis for a while - and I've really cut down as a result of the diet which is good - but the occasional glass of wine helps me keep to my overall plan without being tempted by other things! Well done on the roast potatoes front :)
