We went to a bar-be-que and I brought my veggie dogs with me. I did eat a bit to many chips with dip and popcorn before dinner but I exercised it off the next day. Luckily the 4th of July is nothing like Thanksgiving or Christmas!

I was at my boyfrinds house and they only ate breakfast that day. And I got 1 meal on Saturday before I decided to leave

I always feel pressured to eat more than I would like to at family events. Otherwise everyone comments on how I’m “eating like a bird or a rabbit” etc, etc… which is really annoying. I also tend to stay away from certain foods like breads and chocolate, which also get pushed on me at holidays. Once I eat something like that, it is a real struggle not to get stuck in old habits of overeating. Be sensitive to people trying to live healthy lives!
