What to do at bdays?

[dawn.believes]

My mom's bday is tomorrow and we were going to have cake and ice cream tonight for her. Well, today is day 2 for me so I really don't think having cake and ice cream is a good idea but I don't know what else to do. Any ideas on a yummy bday treat that is f/s free?

Dawn,

You didn't say if this celebration was going to be in the evening after dinner, but you could have your MA when they serve the cake and if the time is too far off to have your MA, then you could have a cup of tea. I find that I am satisfied as long as I have something in front of me and even a glass of water has sufficed at times. I try to remind myself that I want to eat in a healthy manner and that this a choice.

Thank you for the advice. I am really struggling right now as it is a lot of food that I just can't eat and I am just starting. I am really starting to wonder if I am going to be able to do this. I mean, there seems to be so much that I can't eat and it makes me wonder....what am I going to eat? It is strange to be such an overeater as I am and still be so dang picky....I hope I can figure it out soon. This is making me crazy!

This is an old post but I thought I'd reply since more people maybe need help:)

Iv'e experienced 2 birthdays since my abstinence started.
I ate my normal meals and brought eggs (use what you know is steady, abstinence food) if I needed it there.
With god's help, it worked.
