I feel your pain. I have guests coming over for dinner. I made a 3 course meal, baked bread and cannot touch any of it. I will stick to my yogurt and shake.< /p>

Being brave and sticking to your food plan is GREAT!! Your family and friends are a great way to catch up and talk and forget about the food. I am getting good with that. Always carry a drink of Water and maybe you will forget about the 'wrong' foods.

Happy 4th!!!

I feel you...we had something last weekend everyone was getting their eat on except me...not easy but the end results will be worth it

I was banded in Jan... I have made it through birthdays easter, anniversary, and now 4th of July.. family grilled burgers and dogs.. I ate about 1/2 of a burger , no bun, a small spoonful of baked Beans and some pineapple (fresh) small piece... I remember past holidays with gorging and feeling sick from eating too much then feeling guilty because I was so fat and uncomfortable.. today we did get in the pool and I did a few laps.. anyway there will be lots of holidays that you can enjoy but just less food.. it's so worth it.. I have lost 45 lbs and I am way happier and healthier than I was.. keep your eye on the prize..

Sounds like me and my daughter. I chose to go out instead of cooking that Thanksgiving. Between 8 of us, we brought home 9 boxes! You can get through it, just remember why you did this! Best wishes, happy holiday!
