    first of all...happy birthday :) enjoy your day...eat and drink what makes you happy but not like you need to unbutton your pants to be comfortable :) i know its been suggested already, but try to get in a good workout the morning of/for the few days before and then ENJOY!!! in my opinion you will be more upset that you deny yourself rather than if you have a little fun and enjoy...it will be harder to stick to the program if you don't let yourself indulge and enjoy every once in a while for special times :)

    mmm.... Lou Malnati's!

    I say - go for it! - just remember there is a difference between eating what you want and gorging yourself because you can!

    ABSOLUTEY!!!! Enjoy YOUR day. Do not stress about anything. Personally I have "cheat days'' once a week now, maybe more if there is a special occasion. Consider the way you eat daily a lifestyle change, not a diet & you should not be made to feel like your lifestyle change is a prison sentence. Enjoy yourself!!!! Going off base now & then is a good thing for your body, it actually shocks the system & helps to avoid plateaus, believe it or not!!! So you most certainly SHOULD enjoy eating WHATEVER YOU WANT on Saturday:drinker:

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!:flowerforyou:
