Today is my birthday...
I haven't been excited or depressed about getting older, really indifferent. I was frustrated by my family that insisted on a Birthday cake even though I said I didn't want one. I was very appreciative that my ex husband helped our 5 year old son make me brownies... Does anyone see where this is going??? I feel like everyone was trying to set me up for failure! I will be honest... I ate a bite of cake and pretended to eat the brownie for my son's sake.... you could've broken teeth out with those bad boys :). Today was the first time since prior to my preop diet that I have had any type of sweets. I think I did ok... Honestly, it wasn't even that tasty. How do you all get people around you to change their mindset? I am working hard and am just tired. My weightloss is the topic of conversation, but pushed to the side for cake! Ugh...
Happy Birthday! Personally, I see nothing wrong with a little cake on your birthday, but I am one of those rare carb-eaters ;) Just listen to your body and watch out for cravings now that it's over. It's a matter of jumping right back on track after it's over!
Enjoy your day and do NOT spend it beating yourself up! Again, happy birthday! I hope it's the best one yet :)

Happy birthday!
You can't change what other people do. Just do what is right for you, and it sounds like you handled it perfectly.
