Hi, well done on such a great loss you are doing great !! I am not the best person to advise you what to do , i am on week 7 and have been 100% on plan since day one, even on holiday at an all inclusive hotel. I have avoided all social things so far i made that decision at the beginning knowing it would only be for 3/4 months. If i have been away for the day i take a shake or bar but that is me. I can see your problem though it isnt easy. Some people have no problem at all having a "planned lapse " others find they go out of control, its all down to the individual. My llc said more people come of the plan the first week in december and dont get back on it till january, one lady confirmed this and said she had done a great deal of damage in that time and regretted it. Personally i am not prepared to do it as i have worked so hard to get where i am. I am sure whatever you decide to do will be the right choice for you. Do your friends know you are doing lighterlife ? Have a fantastic day whatever you decide Take care X
