    My birthday and Atkins

    I am not planning on cheating next Wednesday the 20th, which also happens to be my birthday. Instead of going out to eat with my extended family I want to have dinner at my mom's house so that I can take food that are atkins friendly. I am planning on making a delicious cheesecake and putting candles on that. I told my mom to go ahead and buy another cake for everyone else to have, seeing as my cheesecake is kinda small and not enough for the 25 people or so that are gonna be at my birthday dinner.

    So, for those of you who have celebrated one or many birthdays on this WOE what did you do. Did you cheat? What were your special treats? Just curious on how everyone celebrates their birthday.

    I wish I could say I did not cheat on my birthday but I can see I had a cheat free Christmas dinner. I had fresh cooked whole lobster. veggoes, and low-carb pumpkin mouse! It was great. I did not feel deprived for a minute.

      I haven't "cheated" on my birthday by having bday cake or anything but I've had a couple higher-carb meals.
      Once you use food for something other than eating (celebrating, rewarding, etc) that's when people get into trouble.

        I didn't cheat for my birthday, but I can't say that the thought wasn't there. My husband grilled some steaks and we just had a small family celebration. I made low-carb cheesecake cupcakes the weekend of my birthday too. I thought I would cheat too since I just turned 30 in May. I think I made a comment to my husband regarding eating something that I shouldn't and he laughed at me. He told me that I really should think about it to see if the M&Ms would be worth it. It helped since it wasn't worth it. Although his next sentence could have ruined it all when he said, "Now if you're gonna cheat. Think big." Luckily his first sentence gave me enough time to think it over and decide that it wasn't worth the disappointment I would feel over my actions.
