today is my first day on the shake meal replacement diet and I have been doing fine, however a judge just asked me to lunch and I did explain to him my diet, but I am going to accompany him to the restuarant, I am nervous.....

Thanks! I would love to go.

Waiter/waitress: Diet soda please. That’s it? Yes please.

Why aren’t you eating? (Judge asks) The the type of diet I am on.

PERIOD! END OF DICSUSSION. If you opt to divuldge, fine, if not then it's over.

Have a great lunch, have great conversation.

Been there done that, more than once.

Ok, will his/her Honor get offended?

Same as I tell my teen, shoe on other foot, would you get offended? Nope.

Everyone is happy, and truthfully, no one will really pay any attention I promise.

Side note: TONS of free lunches when you finish, they will ALL still be there, with many more to come in the future, I promise.

Jennifer-

You will do fine and can easily have your lean and green at any restaraunt. Even if it isn't on the menu, they won't kill your for ordering a peice of grilled meat and steamed veggies.

Hope it turns out well. I went out for dinner on my second day on the plan and seem to be surviving well - just be mindful and have plan!

Welcome and best wishes!

you are "SOMETHING"

You should be proud of yourself. Remember one day at a time and you will make it. We all slip if you do get back on we are here for you :hug:

Awesome job at lunch!

One food event at a time there. Maybe your hubby and kids can start helping in the kitchen?? You will see just how many times we mindlessly shove stuff in our mouths when you are cooking - it is insane.

Beware, have water and a plan - chewing gum doesn't hurt either -- you are doing great....

Keep it up.

I started MF 5 days ago and that first dinner prep with the family wasn't as bad as I thought. Now I don't have kids at home so it may have been easir for me. Just keep your goal in mind and remember this is ALL ABOUT YOU.

Thing to remember that I forgot.
a. don't lick the spoon
b. no need to taste what you're cooking
c. the family can eat TV dinners for a week or so (that may really help)
d. have someone else put away any left overs

Lots of luck
