Hi folks
I'm very early into my "new me" plan, and have the dreaded birthday on Wednesday. We all know what goes with this, "Let's go out for dinner", "Here, have a drink", "oh, I bought you a cake!"
I have already been railroaded into having dinner with friends tomorrow night. My mum asked to take me out on Wednesday (I managed to decline but felt bad!)
Thing is, I've kept my new eating plans almost a secret from friends and family. I hate the "How much did you lose this week?" type stuff. (Although, strangely enough, with the peeps on here I quite like it!! - Internet anonymity is fabulous lol)
If anyone asks if I've lost weight, I just shrug it off and say I've been walking the dog more or something.
So here's my question, how do you guys deal with birthday week (It's my 30th, I can't really ignore it)
Do you go with the flow (I mean have something nice, but don't go overboard, like desserts and stuff) and get back on track Thursday. Or, do you sit with a baked potato and a diet coke?
It's a shame I'm full of the cold at the moment, or I would be hitting the pool for extra sessions......
