Tomorrow is my birthday and it is havoc for my diet. Today my boss brought cupcakes, then my department is taking me out for lunch later. Tomorrow my best friend is taking me out for lunch. I will make the healthiest choices I can at both restaurants but even that is more calories than I should be having. It is a good thing we only have 1 birthday a year. :smile:

    Occasions like birthdays are what make sticking to a healthy diet on non-occasions easy for me. If I feel like pigging out I think "No, better not. <someone's> birthday/wedding/etc. is next week and you know you'll be overeating then."

    My birthday was last week. Someone told me to just enjoy it then eat healthy the next day. Since my birthday was friday, I celebrated the weekend also and just did extra activity and ate right.

    They don't have to be bad for your diet if you only have them once a year! I still intend to have cake on my birthday. Mmmm ... caaaake!

    Ok now that the birthday is over it is really time to get back on the grind. I am a little nervous though because I am going to weigh myself tomorrow. I don't have high hopes because of the weekend. But at the same time I did make the healthiest choices I could find and drank more water than normal. Maybe the scale won't be too mean to me.

    So is Thanksgiving, Christmas, 4th of July and any other holiday. Enjoy your day. Don't worry about calories.

    Remember, one isolated day once in a while is not what got us all on this site. Enjoy the day, celebrate (responsibly), and have a great time. The day after, back to what you know is working for you and making you feel better. You'll feel better about it if you accept it as what it is: an abnormality in your routine. Enjoy it for what it is, then get back to what you need to do.

    And happy birthday!
