Hang in there Wave it’s worth it. My wife’s not carnivore either, but she’s very supportive now, she wasn’t at first, but the results can’t be ignored.
Sugar has the same or similar effects on the brain like hard drugs. At my worst times, it like spoke to me and knows all the manipulative tricks. To be honest, as a mentally unstable artist carnivore, i cant go 10 days without sugar, but over time, it got to the point where i can eat a chocolate bar and it wont trigger a binge eating anymore. So it does get easier in those terms over the months.
As you know, there are dozens and dozens of special occasions throughout the year, not down playing this particular one for you. But special occasions can still be enjoyed just as much without falling off the Carnivore wagon. The mental toll may be the worse part for you, the guilt, the discouragement, etc. You could literally ruin your complete future health should you get so discouraged you quit. Stick with it BUDDY! You can do this! Like you said, it's not that hard when you focus on it. Family and friends will not get it at first, but once they see you losing weight, and feeling better, they will respect you for it, whether or not they agree with you. They will literally go from, "This is BS" to "Tell me how you did it." Patience, persistence and focus!
