I know that whatever you decide, it will be the right choice for you. I just wanted to share my experience over last weekend. I partied too much Friday night so there was the alcohol stall and then since I felt like crap on Saturday I had a carb fest. By Sunday I was up 3.5 lbs and even though I jumped back on plan Sunday, I had gained another .5 lbs by Monday. It took me until today to get those lbs back off so that I am back to where I was before the fiasco. I also had to go through withdrawal all over again with the headaches, dizziness, etc. So as someone else posted above, just be prepared for whatever happens and know that you can get back on plan afterward. Also, your situation is different since you are planning for the indulgence where mine was definitely not planned. You are definitely worth whatever way of celebrating you choose. Good luck and have a very Happy Birthday!!!!
