Hi Kacey

If you are going to cheat - as Wannabslim says try and stick to low carb. White meat, fish, salad and green veg. If you are going to drink - bring yourself out of ketosis first as its really dangerous to drink alcohol in ketosis (see sticky on CD forum for details). In my first month my parents came to visit from Spain and it was my Mum's birthday so we went out for a meal. I phoned ahead and spoke to the chef and he prepared me some poached fish and veg. But if its a big "do" - I'd do it at home - I found it much less stressful cooking for others and just having my shakes, and if you do a buffet you can have a plateful of salady things and not even eat much but if you've a plate in your hand no one will ask questions! Also because you're not ordering drnks at a bar no one know you're not drinking either. Have fizzy water and pretend its a G&T or V&T.

You've admitted that if you go out you WILL binge so why take the chance - you're doing so well it would be a shame to have a setback. Its really hard to get back in the zone.

Thing is in life - there is always a reason to cheat or give up or not start a diet - a birthday, a holiday, a party, a works dinner etc etc etc. I decided if I waited till all the events I had planned were over I would still not have started now and rather than being 56 pounds lighter I probably would be another stone heavier with even further to go.

Make the right decision for you - I'm sure your daughter will understand
