help! I'm having a little pitty party.....

DebbieMc3

I've alloted for 2 beers tonight. I'm having the oh poor me, I can't drink or eat munchies like a normal person going out on a Friday night. I know, I know, it's not about the beer and food but GOD!!!!!!! I just want to be able to be normal.
I usually allow for an overage one day a week but I have a b-day party tomorrow and Mother's day Sunday so I really don't want to go over my calories today.
I need to breathe and get through this. I'm snapping at my husband and son. Why am I such a food addict!!!!!

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Thanks for letting me share and being there to listen. I can do this! I will do this! I am doing this!

Just remember, a few drinks as a one off will not ruin all your hard work, or even a weekend You may gain a few lbs of water weight, which can seem terrible, but just remember, it's not fat, unless you've eaten LOADS!! (which I'm sure you won't have "that" much)

Right now I've had quite a few drinks, and a few munchies! It's not the end of the world. Around a month ago, I went to a friends birthday and had far too many, I still lost weight in weigh-in 2 days later.

Just don't go berserk, have a good time, enjoy yourself and get back on it tomorrow. Remember it's a lifestyle change and we all should be allowed days like this.

You can do this!

smile. Interesting you used the AA prayer here. :-)

Work this time, learn from it, and then move on. Consider switching to wine.
You can do this, you just gotta learn how to to not go "berserk" (as the other poster notes).

I went out last night and only drank water. I consider myself normal.

Since when do normal people *always* have to drink when they go out? 'Going out' and 'drinking' are not synonymous.

(don't mind me, I had this conversation with someone who assumed I'd NEED to drink to 'have a good time' last night before I went out.)

Thanks

It's not that I HAVE or NEED to drink. It's that I want to be able to do what I want to do.
I know I could have but Ugh! I need to get this weight thing in check.

Anyway, thank you! I had a wonderful time last night. I did not implode from lack of chips and dip. lololololol

My Dad has been in AA and OA for over 20 years. We use the serenity prayer whenever we need it.
It's a nice thought,.

My dad was in AA too. It's a nice prayer. I have it on the wall in the bathroom. :-)

I quit smoking 19 years ago and I always tell my self that I know if I have just one I will be back at it again so I must not have it. I feel I need to have the same attitude with food. Especially sweets! My husband cut out sugars about 5 years ago for health reasons and looks amazing now. He eats a ton of food but just stays away from the sugars, white bread, and real fatty foods. I wish I had his will power. I wish I could put the same thought process in my bad food intake as I did with the smoking cigaretts. I know this is a way of life change but I think that really sometimes you have to totally give it up to start that change. I for one can't do the have one little piece and be satisfied with that choice. Its all or nothing for me. Good luck to you and I need to start remembering the serinity prayer more often.

You are going to be just fine!!! Drink those beers. Sounds like you need it. Just remember not to go crazy. Take all that frustration outside and go for a walk. Exercise and burn those extra calories. You can do it and will do it! I have also found myself snapping at my hubby and sons. It happens! They forgive you in a little while! Good Luck and God Bless
