...I'm now trying to decide if I should postpone my start for 2 weeks.
It's my nephew’s birthday on Saturday (my husband’s sisters son) and we've all been invited round for a birthday treat with all the family. Although they all know I've been on a diet I've not told them I've been doing Slim Fast for the 7 weeks and they certainly don't know I intend to start S&S in the New Year (they are a family of naturally thin people who eat whatever they want). I think I'd really find it hard to refuse ALL food and drink whilst being there for around 8 hours. All their gatherings revolve around food and drink and I've just spent a week with them at Christmas!
Then the following weekend is my own daughters 3rd birthday and I will bake her a cake and both my girls (I have a 5 yo too) will find it strange that mummy isn't eating it with them :-( I don't want them to realise that mummy is not eating 'normal' food with them; I just want them to remember the New Mummy that's slim and active and doesn't worry about 'naughty' food.
I'm kind of dreading the first few days of getting into ketosis and dealing with not eating (so is my husband!) and I really don't want to go through it all just to scupper my efforts with off plan food.
Although I'm in the right frame of mind now do you think I'll still be as hyped up if I carry on with Slim Fast for the next 2 weeks and have 2 'naughty' days for the birthdays?
All opinions welcome!
