Lala, I have to shop for a girl's birthday soon...but she wants lego! I do always send my niece cute fairy outfits and things though. I am not surprised you think you won't be able to eat anything at the party. You are barely eating anything! My diet is a lot less restrictive. I wouldn't survive otherwise. I am going out on Friday night with DHs work. I have already decided to allow myself my first glass of wine since New Year. White wine is preferable over red if that helps. Maybe you should take some hommus dip and celery sticks along too! I have rum balls in the fridge that I haven't been able to touch. You are right, it does take a lot of will power! Anyway, just remember that 1 cheat will not ruin your sway.
