in Introduce Yourself
Hello MFP....my birthday was Tuesday 3/23 and I was so happy to make my first goal of losing 10lbs by then...Now I'm going crazy on my bday i had lunch out which I haven't really done since I've been using MFP and I was suprised that I actually ordered a salad...not something I would normally do...and I found myself searching for calories in alcoholic drinks that I had that evening realizing drinking alcohol straight is the best way to go....NOW my friends and boyfriend are having a dinner party for me tomorrow...UUUUUUGH can you hear me screaming....I feel like I'm going to gain 10lbs back by this weekend...lol I'm working out hard at the gym but now I'm scared to even attempt to stand on my scale because I don't want to get unmotivated....DAMN BIRTHDAY....lol

    It's my birthday on Sunday! I am going out for dinner this weekend and will try to eat reasonably...but I will work out a whole bunch before to offset any over indulgences. It's all about balance
