I've been SSing for about 20 weeks now and I can say hand on heart nothing other than packs and water have passed my lips - not even a nibble! During this time I've been on nights out with no problems - have even felt smug about the fact I can drive home and don't have a hangover the next day!
The trouble is that its my Xmas party next sunday and I really don't know whether to drink or not. I've been really missing alcohol lately (which is odd considering I've never been a big drinker - just the odd night out now and then but never at home) Some of my friends are trying to convince me to take the night off and I just can't decide! Right from the beginning I've said I'm going to stick to the plan 100% up until Christmas, have Christmas day off and then go straight back on the packs until I reach goal but now I'm wavering and just don't what to do. I think in the back of my mind - having the night off will mean I've failed somehow and will ruin all my hard work so far - although logically I know even I can't put 5st back on in one night! I also think having a drunken night out would hopefully make me feel 'normal' - something I haven't felt since I started SSing - I always feel like I'm the non-eating, non-drinking freak and that I'm just not as much fun (although my friends say otherwise)
If I do decide to have the evening 'off' even I realise I'll have to eat something first - but I have no idea what!
And how much difference would one night off actually make?
Any words of wisdom/advice for me anyone?
Thanks guys
