Okay so today was my Great uncles Funeral and afterward they served the food. Now in my family and our culture it's kinda disrespectful to not eat. My only issue was it wasn't ANYTHING there that was remotely healthy and what I like to call "Bypass friendly" lol I'm still pre opt and was tempted/forced into eating the delicious Sin! I Ate really small portions and tried to eat slow as if I already had it. How can i maintain a healthy diet at family events or do I not eat even if%

First off congrats on the restraint!! Women continue to show me how strong they are!! My wife has really been my rock through my entire process!

"Life style changes" are more about control than denial and that's exactly what you did. You might find some useful ideas in my post "The Prime Directive". Congratulations and well done!!
