The the whole point of my post was to see if anyone else is having a hard time around people who are on ideal protein and are cheating/making substitutions. I wanted to talk to people who are in my same situation and are 100% on plan. I have only been on the diet for 8 weeks so I am too "young" to jump over to the experienced thread. I really hate it when people have to go off topic and start acting like I am the bad guy. Is this forum not for support while on a diet? Jeesh people. If there is a thread started for people who are 100% on plan I will for sure join in. Until then...

I understand where you are coming from. It is hard to hear about all the goodies people are eating. However, that is really life in the real world. I don't personally know anyone else following the IP protocol so I am always hearing about dinners out, drinking, parties, snacks etc. My thinking is that those temptations will always be there so I may as well deal with them now. I come to this forum to get away from the temptations and communicate with people who are in the same position I am.

It wasn't even that she was drinking diet soda. She made a CAKE with diet soda. As in a betty crocker cake mix made with diet sprite instead of water/egg/oil. I was looking for support and instead all I got was " You aren't the boss of anyone's diet" and "People need to make substitutions to make this program doable" All I wanted to hear was " Yeah, it is hard to hear about all of the tweeks that people are making to this diet". And "haters" is an expression. I wasn't saying that you all are full of hatred, just that you guys completely took everything I was "complaining about" and twisted it to make it sound like I was saying she is a bad person for doing this diet differently or that I should be in control of what she eats. All I said was that it was hard to hear about her choices. And with that, this thread is done. Thank you to all who understood and I am sorry to all of those who don't understand why it is hard for me.
