I took my 2 little ones to 2 seperate Mother's day celebrations yesterday; my parents' house and my DH's parents' house (DH works weekend so he wasn't there for either). Of course there was food galore. I ate a large healthy breakfast (calories counted) so I wouldn't be ravenous. I didn't eat anything at my parents' house because it was still fairly early in the day (around 11am). They are supportive, don't get me wrong, but everyone questioned why I didn't eat chips and dip and sub sandwiches. "Are you not allowed those foods?" I just answered "Sure I'm allowed, I can eat anything I want". Then at my in laws' house I just had 1 peice of pizza and 1 tiny peice of cake (all accounted for calorie wise) and was questioned again "are you not allowed more than one peice" I answered "Sure I am, but if I want to continue losing weight I can't over indulge all the time". Last weekend we celebrated my daughter's birthday and I did over consume, I didn't want a repeat.
My mom, sister, and mother in law eat like birds and no one ever questions their eating (all thin), but a fat girl trying to lose weight gets questioned. Just funny I thought!!!
I had a little bit of what REALLY looked good to me. And I was down .6 from yesterday! So It payed of immediately (which of course it doesn't always).
Anyone else able to stay on plan yesterday but catch a little flack for it!? Or did you try to stay on plan but were swayed into temptation?
