Last night was my niece's birthday, or my first challenge: birthday cake. Notice that I did not call it a Cheat Day, nor convince myself that I deserved sweets because I've lost weight this week (I in fact deserve to lose MORE weight by not giving in to temptation). I did not eat a single bite, but rather followed a suggestion from Jenibeann and offered to help pass out plates of it to everyone. No one noticed that I didn't have a slice. The diversion tactic worked!
(Thank you, Jenibeann!!!!!)
I simply drank a cup of coffee and socialized with everyone like I had already had a piece of cake. This was so successful that I plan on using it every party that involves dessert (like weddings or retirement parties).
Cheers everyone!
