Hi, Everybody:
This is *officially* my last day of phase 1. I have been dissapointed as I lost 5 pounds the first week, and not a single pound this week, but I am trying not to let that get me down to much.
Anyways, I have ate completely clean for the last 14 days. However, tomorrow night I am going over to an esteemed law professors house with a couple class mates, where he is cooking us dinner. His cooking is renowed, and extremely decadent. There will be wine and dessert, and I am TERRIFIED. I have to stay in this man's good graces, and to him, that will mean eating the food that he has taken all day to prepare. It is not like going to my mother's house where I can turn her offers down...that would be considered extremely rude in this setting.
I have two questions. First of all, how would you all handle this situation? I plan on eating as small portions as possible, and trying to stick to 1 or 2 glasses of wine. Can you offer me any advice?
Second of all, I am so terrified that all of my hard work over the last two weeks will completely be undone. I was literally in tears about it to my husband this morning. How has one outragous meal affected your progress on SB?
Sorry to be such a drama-queen, but this is the first time I am encountering this situation since starting SBD, and would love any wisdom you all could offer.
Thank you so much!!
