Day. She's 11, and despite theoretically *knowing* I'm on a diet, she decided to make a very fancy brunch (french toast made from croissants, etc) and then chocolate cake for dessert!!!! I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry - I obviously had a choice between breaking my diet or breaking her heart (well, a little overstated, but she would have been really hurt and disappointed) so you know which one I picked :-) Hopefully now, though, I've clarified the importance of sticking to my diet to her...and if not, my birthday isn't until December, LOL!

Would you like POOF or POP to be used when we banish you?

Oh puh-lease!Just because you don't enjoy life to its fullest,does NOT mean that no one else can.Jealous eh? Sure sounds like it.She is enjoying herself and living her life HER way...just because you don't enjoy yours doesn't mean you should bring others down to your pathetic level.Go out and smell the roses,enjoy the sun and get out of your dank hole!

I think that's great! It was a sweet gesture and you'd have been a cold mother if you hadn't eaten it!

I started out Mother's day with Eggs benedict and chocolate covered strawberries washed down with a Mimosa (champagne and orange juice). At the movie my family took me to see, I ate lots of buttered popcorn, some milk duds and I had a big ole bunch a coke with it. My hubby then prepared bbq ribs on the grill, sweet corn with butter, baked potatoes with butter and sour cream,and a bottle of merlot. I finished my evening with a hot fudge sundae. MY 11 year old daughter AND my 16 year old son participated in this.... I gained back 1 1/2 lbs! I also gained some fantastic memories. So sad for me

So lets see....lets risk breaking your daughters heart and making it a permanent sad memory for the rest of her life or eat a meal that probably wont eat set

that was nice of your dd.

i don't see what the big deal is. My sis made me some chocolate for mothers day and put it in a tin, i went through and just took a few pieces for home and left the rest there for them. I also had a piece of pecan pie on mothers day. I don't see a problem with occasions snacky food as logn as you do it right. I think that's why so many people lose weight then gain it back after they get to their goal weight, they get to goal so they binge on foods they didn't eat while on plan.

I'm not on a diet, i am changing how i eat and i won't go through life with no snacks. SO when i get to goal i won't feel deprived at all caus i am eating what i want.
