    You dropped 200-300 on fried pickles?

    GOOD FOR YOU! Those things are MAGICAL. I LOVE them.

    200 calories over once and a while is not going to hurt you, especially if you are right on track most of the time.

    Yes I do, you just forget about it and afterwards you are smacking yourself in the head asking yourself why why why.

    You just have to fight the urges!
    there've been times when that happened to me and I would order the unhealthier foods until I got it in my mind to be

    PROACTIVE instead of REACTIVE

    Proactive: you've gotta do it for yourself because it's your health, your diet, your goal that you're putting off from every unhealthy choices you make

    REACTIVE: you just react to your current circumstances so you end up falling down.

    When I got that in my head, it got so much easier :) CHEERS!

    *Feel free to add me up :)

    Oh Yeah! My friends like to hang out in the bars for an entire evening of fun. Which I don't mind, I just don't want to drink all night (who needs THAT many empty calories). I may have a beer or two and try to switch to water. They not only complain about my choice of drink, they will start buying me beers and telling me that they can't go to waste. The other night, I met them and had no intention of drinking (mostly because I just didn't feel like it). A beer was waiting at my table for me and I just let it sit there for hours. Never took a sip! Pretty proud of myself for that one, since I really do like beer.:drinker:

    It took me a long time to stop going along with bad food choices when out with friends. I could avoid bad stuff all day long at work (and even out with my husband) but for some reason, that social dynamic was harder to stand up to. Once I had a long stretch of healthy eating behind me, I just stuck to my guns when out with the girls, because I knew I could no longer stomach the fried foods anymore, and it wasn't as bad as I thought. Actually found that they are more prone to make healthier choices when I do...

    OH, and try to pre-plan when you know where you're going, and when the waiter or waitress comes to the table be sure you speak up and order FIRST. That way, you are less likely to be tempted if a friend orders something bad....
