Well, my son’s birthday party was postponed… of all the cruel things, a girl broke his heart on his birthday. She knew today was his birthday, but she chose to break the news of her seeing someone else today. So my kiddo called me and asked me to cancel. He didn’t want to see anyone tonight. He came home and crashed into bed for awhile. Later he was feeling somewhat better. We ended up with us all going out to dinner.
This is the 2nd night in a row we’ve eaten out. I think I made great choices as far as the meal went. I had a small portion of lean meat, and a couple servings of vegetables. Last night it was steamed broccoli and a salad, I brought the dessert home for my son to enjoy. Tonight it was a variety of vegetables and a lot of them. Dessert wasn’t included in tonight’s dinner. Oh thank goodness. The way I was feeling, I probably would have eaten mine and my hubby’s dessert. Both nights I went with water as my drink. So far so good!
I made it through a stressful day without going off plan. Okay, so I still have a party to look forward to on Sunday. Now I’m feeling like I have what it takes to skip the dessert the rest of this weekend.
Hopefully my son is actually looking forward to a party with friends and family.

That’s such an incredibly healthy attitude! We would probably have gone ahead with the party, because we wouldn’t want to “disappoint our guests”. But it’s not in your son’s best interests to have to pretend that he’s fine in front of other people. Well done!
Happy birthday to him and I think good riddance of a girl with no tact and no heart.
You’re doing well resisting temptation!

You handled going out to eat so well! That is great. I hope your son is feeling better - what an awful thing to hear on your birthday (or any time but especially then) -

Awe, feel bad for your son. Good job with your choices. Eating out is freeing when you don’t feel tempted!

That’s so sad about your son, and of all days on his birthday. How heartless - he can do so much better than her!! And kudos to you for sticking on plan!

I am so sorry for your son. I can’t believe the girl would tell him on his birthday. That is pretty cruel.
You seem to be doing well with your eating plan, especially when going out. Good job!

Thank you all for your support! The party went off great. I fixed a sugar free dessert for me and a friend of mine. It’s all in the planning… now if I can remember that in the future
Oh I agree 100%! The girl was cruel telling him on his birthday. But he’s young and strong… he’s still hurting, but he’s finding time to hang out with family and not sulking. It’s hard to see him hurt like that. That’s the hardest thing for me, is to see one of my kids get hurt.
