I'm going out in a couple of weeks time for my friends birthday, and have got to be honest I'm dreading it
I know I'll be ok as far as not drinking and ordering something small and insignificant to eat, but I know I may be under pressure from other friends that are going. I can imagine them saying that one night off from the diet won't hurt. But quite honestly at the moment I don't want one night off! I'm enjoying the fact that I never feel bloated and have no heart burn
Anyway my worry is that I may get a bit snappy if they keep on, especially if they've had a drink, they'll become worse.. The reason I know this, is because I'd probably be the same as them if I werent dieting and one of them were
We automatically think that if someone is dieing that they are depriving themselves of something great, and we don't want them to suffer. The actually truth is, we're depriving ourselves from bad things, which I am now learning are definately not needed to feel good, so we're not depriving ourselves at all!!!!!!
Really feel for you in this. Can you opt to drive to make the no booze thing non-negotiable?
How do you yhink you'll manage the 'Do have some's & 'Just a little bit's.I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to get tetchy with your friends who are only trying to help you enjoy yourself.
Justwondering if you could have anadvance word with a couple of them to get them on your side & keep the others at bay.
I'm assuming that you haven't told them about CD.
Then there's always the white lies having a bet with H that iwon't xxx,Doctors blood test next day,Bit of an upset tummy,etc
Perhaps I'll make myself a badge saying 'Nil by mouth'.
Absolutely brilliant.
Something good happened today: We are renovating the living room and stairs and hubby being hubby, wanted to do everything himself. Anyway the project is dragging:sigh: After a bad day today, he's finally decided to get a plasterer in!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm soooo happy...I can now see a light at the end of the tunnel.
