in Motivation and Support
Tomorrow is my birthday, and i am very happy about that, but all my friends want to take me out to eat, out of all the things in this world.:grumble: i have been avoiding restaurants ever sence I became serious about losing weight. Food is my weakness and it is very hard for me to make good choices in a place like that. To top things off, im turning 21 which means drinking !:drinker: i have already lost 12lbs and am soo scared of putting them bac on. MFP i need some advise and motivation.

PLease...

    eat healthy before you go.. then indulge in a little something.. if your stomach is almost full when you arrive at the restaurant, you will eat light... as for the drinks

    you only turn 21 once!!!!! is that the drinking age where you live?

    First of all...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :flowerforyou:

    I agree with everyone else on this thread. It's you're birthday! And you do only turn 21 once - so let yourself indulge! And don't beat yourself up for it the next day - you've worked hard and you deserve one day off as long as you don't let it turn into a week off and then another week off :tongue:

    Just get back on track on Monday! You're not going to gain all 12 pounds back just from indulging once :smile:

    And congrats on losing 12 pounds!!! That's awesome! :happy:

    you don't gain weight on your birthday, it only happens once a year so the weight loss gods have mercy and don't turn the food into fat... relax and enjoy yourself, it's your special day after all!

    Oooh, not Monday.............Sunday!!

    As soon as your blurry head hits the pillow, you are off to a brand new start.

    Life is about living. SOME days it is going to be about going to town.

    Try to eat healthy at dinner, cuz something tells me the rest of the night is nothing but drinking!!

    (Oh YEAH and dont forget dancing is exercise!!!)

    Happy Birthday!!:drinker:
