It's hard not to wobble after eating. At the end of the day u pays ur money u takes ur choice.
This is the cue for some one more sensible to chip in x

Well done on resisting the burger and chips when you were feeling so wound up. Difficult to do, but a great feeling to know you are putting your weight and health first and not letting your son's ex get to you. Sounds like your head is really in the right place!
As far as going off plan is concerned, I would think very carefully about what choices will support your goals best. Only you can know what's right for you. But for what it's worth I found it much more difficult once I finished Total and went on to Lite, as I suddenly had all my old confusion and conflicting thoughts about food choices to contend with. You're doing really well at the moment. Is it worth going off plan right now?
And why would having a bar 'spoil the occasion?'
Hi JulesAnger makes me eat too, I've only really realised this in the last couple of weeks. I thought it was all emotion but in the main its anger.
Totally agree with Spangly, eating at a BBQ started my spiral and 4 weeks on I'm still struggling to get back to being 100%.
I've sat in a restaurant and asked them for hot water for my soup...it wasnt a problem for them or me.
Felt quite pleased with myself after too.
But it is your choice huni, your doing so well lovely lady

In my experience people who eat while on Total - even a little, even sensibly, find it very difficult to get back 100%
Maybe 2 reasons?
1st time if you don't gain - you think you can do it again
or
If you really go for it and have carbs or a binge - you feel so fed up with yourself yyou find it hard to re-focus.
Cat - if you had a bar it would not spoil the occasion. If you had coffee and sparkling water it would not spoil the occasion.
The important thing is that you'll be there with your son and your family.
If you had an upset stomach or had been to the dentist you'd probably be comfortable with not eating wouldn't you?
Remember you are doing this for you. You are the one in control
Enjoy the evening.
You girls rock ! I am soo glad you are around to give better advice than me ... rofl
