So tomorrow is my 29th birthday and I'm going to be meeting family for breakfast and possibly friends for dinner. I'm a little bit nervous. I don't like birthdays because I do not like all eyes on me, I know mentally everybody isn't judging me but my anxiety disorder disagrees. I'm trying to figure out how to not binge because I'm uncomfortable. I've actually been doing pretty well and I don't want to have one bad day derail me.

Does anybody have any coping mechanisms for these situations?

    Hi PennyBrew. Happy Birthday. So sorry I didn't see this until today. I hope you had a happy one despite your anxiety. I recently got on meds to control the anxiety. I also don't like celebrating my birthday and I know going out to eat is always a struggle, especially when I'm nervous. Hope it went well and everything is good!

    Thanks guys! I actually did okay on my birthday. Despite family encouraging me not to track at all. I think I only went 100 calories over my goal and I've been walking more all week to make up he difference.

    Great going Traci! Goes to show celebrating doesn't have to turn into a disaster, that's a great example for me. Thank you for sharing this good day.
