GAHH Guilt WHY!!

02/04/2016 9:18AM

This just hits home. My girlfriends from school get together once every 3 months or so for dinner. We ALWAYS have to go to this Mexican restaurant where normally I would just nosh out, have a couple drinks and enjoy the night. This time, I scoured that menu for 2 days before we went to find something "healthy". I finally ordered 2 chicken soft tacos with sour cream on the side. You know what I got? I got "really 2 chicken tacos that's it? Aren't you hungry, what you on a diet? One beer, that's it? You don't want a frozen margarita?" I felt guilty, why I don't know...I guess I thought I was letting them down. BUT it sure paid off the next day, my scale didn't go up and I felt awesome....so no more guilt here, just gonna do my thing and let them deal with it.

Yes LilyN I agree, you can still go out and eat healthy. I did have a beer, I just didn't have 3 or 4. Not saying I don't or won't splurge, I just didn't feel the need to undo everything I had worked hard at this past month.

That's so awesome LilyN! It's so great to have a support system who are all on the same page!! I have friends who love to work out but weight loss isn't their goal, so they have no problem asking if I want to go to Yoga and then go get a drink afterward! I don't really have any friends right now trying to lose weight, so it's hard! Yes Terri! It isn't easy but it is possible to go out and still eat healthy, if nothing on the menu looks okay or I didn't have time to study I'll always get a plain meat and a side of veggies, or eggs lol, my nephew loves big boy so I do a lot of eggs and turkey sausage haha. Not super gourmet but hey.. someone else cooked and cleaned!! :)
