Hi All, some advice would be appreciated please!
I have 2 events in my diary for June/July - a hen do and a wedding, which I had decided to basically go and have a great time, and not worry about the plan. Its only 1 day in each month, so how much damage can it do?
Then yesterday I realised that there are 3 consecutive weeks in June where a social occasssion with drink is involled, then 2 consecutive weeks in July which are the same - I am starting to panic slightly...
So, weekend after next is a bbq & birthday party, foillowed by birthday party the weekend after, followed by hen do. I then have a 3 week gap and then a wedding, followed the week after by an engagement party.
Here's my thinking
BBQ & Birthday Party - avoid sausages, bread, burgers, drink spirits with diet mixers, hope for the best
Birthday Party - eat loads before i go, and try to stick to spirits with diet mixers - hope for the best
Hen Do - food optimise as much as possible. I don't want to feel limited this night so will probably flexi syn so I can drink a few bottles of wine - minimise the gain.
Wedding - again, a flexi syn day as I will have no control over the food & do not want to feel restricted on the booze front - minimise the gain
Engagement Party - eat loads beforehand, avoid the inevitable buffet, and drink spirits with diet mixers - hope for the best
I am thinking the best thing to do is to set myself an maximum gain for this whole period. Being realistic seems ot make sense and I think I'm, less likely to feel guilt if I do gain, doing things this way
Whats are your thoughts peeps? Am I going about this the right way?
