Hi Kimmie
I agree with the above poster, plan ahead. On Tuesday i met a colleague and we had a lunch meeting, I drank sparkling water and stated that i had a dodgy stomach and didn't want to risk it!! (may have said pink chicken and hubbys cooking so bug alert was averted
)....
Is there not a way that you could change venue (hubby is really supportive of you, and i hope i have the right person when i say this but he is taking you away for your birthday?) so i'm sure he would want to encourage as opposed to sabotage your excellent losses...even if the inlaws like that particular restaurant you could just say on the night that they were booked up and you heard about another place that was recommended to you. (eat a chicken/tuna etc salad).
The following week you are hosting the party for your son so can do what you please with regards to eating, again choose a salad so you stay in ketosis and with all the pampering of your boy and your guests you should be able to stay out of your seat long enough for any guests to suspect!!
I am just getting my own head round this as i am away with work next week and have sussed that i am going to eat brekkie in my room (shake!) a bar for lunch and eat a salad or meat and green veg for the dinners which are formal...i have no intention of being knocked out of ketosis and do not want to not lose the max weight..I am on countdown for my holiday to Oz and after watching bondi beach do not want to look like a beached whale whilst all the fit aussie girls parade in itzy bikinis near me any my fella
Also i am realising that utilising this forward planning structure for meals out/events is brilliant training for when i eventually get into maintanence as if i do not recognise and change my current patterns of eating behaviour i am going to be straight back to where i started over 3 stone overweight.
Best of luck, you can do it just look at how brilliant you have done for the past two weeks..
