Today was my baby girl’s baptism and as in all of our family gatherings it revolved around food anddrinks. My husband’s family is very close, we have weekly get-togethers where my Mother in law spread the table with all sort of saliva-inducing food and sweets. Problem is it involves a lot frying and oily carbs. Fattening like hell!
It is not that they do not support my efforts in losing weight or push food in my face on purpose, I think it has more to do with them showing love and care through food, and for some reason they get offended if I didn’t try all the kinds on the table. It is like I am not showing appreciation for the effort and time they put into the cooking and preparation. Although I enjoy spending time with them, but it is very hard sticking to a meal plan
I tried the below and they do work sometimes:
1- Hide in the bathroom and fake Diarrhea 2- Fake terrible stomach ache 3- Schedule baby’s nap around lunch time so that I can excuse myself and go to the bedroom. 4- Invent and emergency and leave before desert 5- Start with the salad and eat very very slowly
Mini goals for the day: no goals were met for today, I just want this day to end so that I can start over tomorrow.
