    good call! just log everything in before you go.

    I agree.
    I had to log everything today cause it will be so crazy since I am hosting a dinner for the school.
    Made sure I had room for a salad from Wendy's since I won't have time to sit down.

    Thanks, Love the idea of logging everything before I go out.
    I feel more accountable already.

    Also- your quote about being the only that can do it is me is so spot on !!!!!

    I think cheap light beer tastes like doo doo LOL. I go with Corona Light for beer if that's the only option. But I usually get rum and diet coke because there's only 60 calories per shot of rum. However I've given up diet coke so now I'd do... I dunno... I guess tonic water or something. Vodka and OJ... there are calories in the OJ but I still think it's better than soda.

    Red wine is always a good choice because it's healthy and it only has about 100 - 150 calories depending on how big the glass.

    I hear you about pounds following you as you get older. I've realized it is so so hard to lose weight now that I'm older. My body wants to stay at its current weight and will fight me unless I'm super good. So honestly I don't splurge much anymore unless I realize I am only going to maintain if I'm lucky, not lose. :sad: I'm sorry to be depressing. If I were you I would have one piece of thin crust pizza with veggies on it, a salad, and a glass of wine. I think that sounds like a good compromise... you can enjoy the taste but also be proud of yourself for not going overboard!

    Absolutely!
    Isn't is sad that I am all wound up going out tonight and am putting all the emphasis on the food and drink instead of the entertainment factor? So here is how I will look at it (p.s. thanks everyone for getting me to think)...
    I will eat to live, not live to eat and have the time of my life tonight while doing it. So that means even if everyone around me is drinking more and eating more I will just slow down so that I won't feel left out!
    VICTORY HERE I COME...

    One slice :cry: I am Italian I have never heard of such a think -hehe

    If you noticed I said say no to the "third" slice!! :flowerforyou:

    if you want to eat a little more, why not go for a walk at lunch to earn a few extra calories!! :happy:

    I have no idea how this happened, but I went out had 2 slices of gouda pizza, one glass of wine, and a diet coke and jack and lost half a pound.

    Wow good job. That's really not going overboard, I think it sounds pretty good compared to how much you *could* have eaten/ drunk. Yay for you.
