Hi Everyone I am hoping someone can give me some help !
I have been SSing for 67 days now and planned to do 84 (12 weeks), because I have my holiday in 5 weeks my CDC's plan is after the 84 days to do a week 810 and a week 1000 before I go, I hope after hols I can SS for a lil while and get back into the swing. On holiday I plan to be sensible, fish, chicken etc and have a bar thru the day. Breakfast and dinner and included but I am not going to use this as an excuse to go mad.
Now next Saturday, which will be Day 73, my best friend has asked me to go out. We had planned a night out after 84 days but she has now booked a holiday so that's out of the window.
She has had a really rough time recently, her mum having chemo for breast cancer, work problems etc and although she has said I don't have to come she really wants me too.
I am 42lbs down so far and 12lbs away from goal.
The plan is to go out and have a few drinks (nothing major) and some tapas rather than a full meal (to help me not be overly tempted).
I am a little afraid, I am hoping if I have a few drinks and a few nibbles it won't make me go completely off plan, I have been very strong so far and don't want to undo my good work.
Should I go ? It will be nice to go out 3 stone lighter and I do feel better about myself, but the fear of putting on/eating after all this time is a bit daunting.
I was wondering if anyone else had been through this and how they coped ? Could you get back on plan the next day ?
I could alternate with a drink, then water and chose good tapas options (chicken/prawns etc) - stay away from pastry of any kind.
Or should I say sorry but I am so close to goal I don't want to spoil things ? It has been so hard for her and she really needs to let her hair down, it will be a few pubs, no clubbing and then home, so out from about 7pm to 11pm. I have missed many social occasions so far as I didn't want to be tempted at all, so I haven't been around as much as usual.
I am the lowest weight I have been since I was about 21 years old.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
