    FFS, its your birthday - enjoy yourself.

    So it might take a few days longer to get to your ideal weight - I say, eat away :)
    Exactly! One occasional meal does not a lifestyle make.

    If you try to adopt a lifestyle you do not enjoy, even if you 'succeed' at sticking to it, what have you actually won? The point is to find a way to be happy and healthy in the long term.

    If you are someone who cannot do it without spiraling out of control then that's a different story, but you know yourself best.

    Thank you everyone for all the advice. I am amazed how split everyone tends to be about the idea of cheat meals. Some say go for it, others protest.

    The good thing is I know already where we will be eating out and I can access their menu online. This way I can plan out exactly how I want to attack this problem.

    My second thought is why don't I just eat exactly what my brother in law eats. He is always cautious of his weight and eating healthy....might be a good experiment. His weight is normal and he is about my age plus he always seems to eat less at social gatherings. Example I would have a big piece of cake and he always seems to just have a small amount.

    At least I have time to plan.
