success!

I read from this forum daily, but rarely post. I find it inspirational and extremely helpful. I just wanted everyone to know how much you have helped me. This past weekend was my daughters 2nd birthday. We had a party with about 30 family and friends. I made certain to have acceptable foods on the menu (meat & cheese tray, veggies, etc.), but knew that I would struggle when it came to the cake and ice cream. The good news... make that great news is that I made it through the day...cheat free! Not even a nibble of an unacceptable food, and I was the one to dish up the cake and ice cream!
I have started induction several times, but this time I am finding success! Today is my 8th day and I just know that I am going to make it to day 14 and beyond! Thanks for the help!

Re: success!

Well done - I've been in a similar situation, and I know how hard it is to keep the hand from reaching the mouth!!!

I've got a party on Friday night and I've already nominated myself as the driver!! that keeps all the alcohol off limits - its just the buffet now, but I find it alot easier to resist when I'm sober - I tend to get the munchies when I've had a tipple or two!!!

Keep up the good work
