I have been 100% for almost 5 weeks since the very beginning really and i had no intentions of eating until 14th dec onwards which would be 12weeks on the diet and i was going to do ss+ HOWEVER....
it is my uncles 70th on 5th november and they are having a party at a turkish grill restaurant and obviously my husband and i are expected to be there.
we did consider missing the whole thing but this uncle and his family have really been there for us alot in recent times and i love them to bits and it feels disrespectful not to go especially because they have said they will not celebrate without us.
I know that if i go i will not be able to do my shakes in front of them... it just will be awkward and there will be a whole load of other people who just will not understand.
i could easily stick to grilled chicken and salad.. because thats the kind of place it is. but im fighting with myself because i just dont know if its the right decision.
the party is on the 5th of nov and by then i would have been 100% for 7 weeks! also... im quite frightened about the idea of eating after such a long time. ive considered pretending to be sick on the day...! but then my husband would be expected to go... if we dont go then i know that my in laws will be the first to tell them all the reason why!
i know alot of people would say that birthdays and special occs will come and go... but if i were to miss this party i dont think i will be forgiven and that means alot more to me. and its not just any birthday.
any advice would be much appreciated.
