I am proud to say I survived (my cravings minimal) my daughter's 3rd birthday party this afternoon! I watched everyone around me eating pizza, cake, cupcakes, appetizers, etc. and while I was somewhat craving it, I felt pretty content. I hung back and just noshed on a bunch of raw veggies and jalapeno hummus dip (which was really good btw). I could never have not caved in in the past, even when I was on one of my many diets, I always let myself cave on special occasions (which would be fine, except I never used to recover after "caving" and it always ended up being a continuous landslide). Here's to a new level of willpower!!!

Thank you both, I feel really great! For once at a party I was totally focused on the event and the people, and not on the food!

I got through my grandsons' birthday party yesterday as well. Tons and tons of food! Everything smelled great and as I said to my d-I-l's sister smells don't have calories! So much fried and fat laden foods, oh my! Brought my Crystal light and sipped while others ate. Came home and fixed my dinner feeling great about myself. And no one minded that I didn't even try their special recipe! You should feel proud about yourself faced with all that tempting food. Keep up the good work.
