[To take food or not?]

It’s my nephews birthday today and we are going for lunch. I don’t know if it will look rude if not if I take food for me. I am on day 6 of R4 so I really don’t want to be thrown off track today. 
I could just not eat ; I have been doing this a long time and I have no qualms missing a meal- but then does that draw attention to the fact they haven’t prepared anything for me? I could take my own, but then does that look like I expected them not to cater for me?? 
 

it does annoy me a little because I cater for everyone’s food preferences (last weekend I ran 10km in my wedding dress for charity then hosted a party for 20 including vegans. Dairy free, w30, keto, and normal eaters!) 

the family we are eating with know this is not a fad and that I have been doing this for a year- we went on holiday with them last month so they know I just live this way. 
 

i’m not sure what to do- any advice?? I plan to eat before we go, but I don’t want to seem rude at their party and to take part in activities with it. 

Such situations constantly occur, because people want to see on the table the food that they themselves want to eat. I think that this is the wrong approach, because people invite guests who have different life circumstances and characteristics. What is puzzling is that these are your relatives who know about your lifestyle. Just remember that people do not always understand and accept what is important to you, and you should take care of yourself.

Day 23

I take what I said back yesterday. I really should have known. I usually stay stagnant for like a week and then look like I drop a ton. Last night's stationary bike ride was fantastic. Seriously, definitely my best work out recently (still baby steps). Also last night/this morning it definitely looks like my body has changed dramatically. Very happy about it. This morning's work out was great too. 30 minutes on the bike and 30 minutes on the elliptical. Felt super good. Definitely tiger's blood. Also, still had tons of energy at like 9PM, even after a day of work calls. Definitely refreshing.

Breakfast: Potatoes, leftover chicken, chicken sausage, grilled veggies and a dab of garlic sauce. coffee with vanilla coconut milk. Got it at the farmers market. so good.

Mini meal: eggs, carrots and tomatoes and garlic sauce for dipping. coffee with vanilla coconut milk. Got it at the farmers market. so good. I really should be eating this now as a post gym but very not hungry. I'll probably bring it out soon to snack on, but likely that means I'll push back lunch so dinner might be a mini meal too.

Lunch: Potatoes, assorted veggies and brussel sprouts (all courtesy of of the Whole Foods Deli haha) and steak

Dinner: Likely zucchini, carrots, onions and celery with plain ribs and babaganosh

Very motivating to read your diary! I would like to ask you about stagnant staying. It turns out that you have changed your lifestyle, acquired the right eating habits, but still you have periods when you stop losing weight, and then it seems to disappear at once? This is actually the first time I've seen this and it looks like I should be having the same thing, only I can't get through a week if I don't see any results at all. I will be more patient!

I also try to think through my menu during the day. In order to take care of yourself and your body, you need to constantly monitor your diet. 

Somtimes it really makes me tired... but I hope very soon it will be a good nice habit
