trulyhealy · August 2020

i plan to go to a birthday party next friday and i want to get really drunk and i’m not even concerned about the calories i’m just concerned about the bloating that will happen in my face and stomach. because i know i’ll be so upset the next day with myself bc i’ve been looking so good recently and my jawline as been looking sharp and thin but i’m going to ruin everything

how can i deal with this?

accept the things you cannot change and drink and have fun knowing it will go away

Or

Don't drink and don't get upset over something that will eventually go away.

Those are basically your options

For a while I pondered whether there was some additional insight I could add beyond what Kriss already said.

There isn't.

Kris is wise.

effects from drinking would be temporary. Either accept that or don't drink excessively?

Hang towels over all the reflective surfaces in your home before you leave for the party?

You could tell everyone you choose to self-quarantine for two weeks after going to an event without social distancing so you have an excuse for no one seeing you afterwards.

Otherwise:

I’m saying this from a place of concern.

I’ve got two daughters who are probably your age or a little older. If one of them came to me and said she wanted to go to a party and get really drunk, was even planning on it, I’d be out of my mind with worry.

This statement, along with some of your earlier threads and posts, strikes me that you are beating yourself or punishing yourself.

I went through that with food. “Well, I’ll just eat all the cake/gallon of ice cream/box of Little Debbies/all of the above because I’m mad at the world, and no one loves me. I’ll show them.”

Please don’t do that to yourself.

Don’t go with an advance plan to get yourself blotto drunk. It’s a rough world out there and you should maintain some control in your little niche of it, if for no other reason than personal safety.
