Easter

[PandaPudge]

Hello everyone! I am on day 3 of Slim Fast and getting a little nervous about Easter this Sunday. So far, the "Shake-snack-Bar-snack-Meal-snack" schedule has been working fine but on Easter, I am joining my boyfriend and his parents for an Easter brunch at this fancy restaurant. I figure I am going to have a shake for brekkie, per usual, then use my first snack + meal for the brunch, which will give me about 600 calories to work with (although Im NOT strictly counting calories because it drives me insane, but just eating healthier/smaller portions) and then a snack and a meal bar later that night.

I think it will be fine, because I am determined to lose the weight so I wont go hog wild, but I guess just breaking the schedule of "Shake-snack-bar...etc" will mess me up. I guess Im just rambling lol.

Curious what everyone else is doing for Easter though

I'm having one day off on Sunday to have lunch with my in laws then back on it! I feel after such a good loss (5.5) this week I can have a day off.

That's a great loss! You definitely deserve the day off then I myself was contemplating doing the same, or maybe just having a shake in the morning so I don't go to the brunch starved and inhale everything

Have a great Easter!

I did the same for a family get together over Christmas. Had my shake in the morning and used the rest of my cal intake for the food there. I was so stuffed after I couldn't had eaten anything else later even if I'd wanted too!

Well apparently our reservations are for 4pm. So I don't know if they will be serving brunch all day but either way, I will be able to drink my shake for breakfast, a meal bar for lunch and then make the best decisions that I can for dinner.

We had Chinese food today, which I really wanted but was afraid I would overeat, but I didn't. I ate very little rice ( <1/2 cup), 2 boneless spareribs, a piece of beef teriyaki and 2 chicken fingers, which is way less than I would have normally eaten, and it was satisfying! I think I am still around 1600 calories, maybe closer to 1700 but that's alright, especially seeing how I have been eating >3000 calories for the past few months :/
