    Totally craving a hamburger and fries today! >_< I've been going from 119 to 120 all month LONG! >_< HOPEFULLY, when I start P90x next week that will start changing. Gotta change my workout routine. That's what got me started on losing weight in the first place. So...-crosses fingers- :wink:

    Aaaaand the hard part of the week is here... dang weekends! I already have the urge to have a few drinks and grab some Taco Bell.... or a donut from our donut shop that is open until 2am..... ugh, being at school and losing weight is HARD!!

    And this is why I'm glad that I'm one of the rare few that doesn't drink. I just really do not get it. Tastes nasty. Just remember if you have alcohol in your system, the body will try to rid of the alcohol first as it's a toxin and doesn't even metabolize (so you get absolutely nothing nutrition wise from it) and then the carbs and finally the fat. So the chances of you losing fat while drinking alcohol every day or even a couple times a week are...small as in you've got to work extra hard at the gym. :noway: If you're going to be miserable after eating said donut or Taco Bell (which I totally do not trust :sick:), just don't.

    yeah, until i started trying to lose weight i felt like a weirdo for not drinking very often (i do once every 3 or 4 months) now i'm happy i at least don't have THAT holding me back as well. doughnuts on the other hand....:laugh:

    Yeah I actually have decided I'm going to try not drinking at all... it's going to be weird because I go to a big party school, but I am not THAT into the party scene so hopefully it won't be too hard! I just feel horrible every time I drink... but yeah resisting the doughnuts is hard lol...

    yeah drinking has definitely been the biggest challenge for me, too. i go to a huge party school (TULANE - #19 party school in the country, and in the city of MARDI GRAS) plus i'm in a sorority so drinking is a huge part of my social life, and is probably what caused me to gain weight last year. i've only been going out on the weekends so far, and this year i went away with a friend for the weekend, so i'm not at school for one of the really big party weekends. hopefully that'll start off next week right so i can actually lose some weight next week and get closer to my goal before next weekend almost definitely throws it off a little.

    Great school/purse snacks: Almonds or trailmix is great, little manderine oranges are yummy and help if your tired, but bring a wetnap cuz your fingers will get sticky
