Well, it is official. Apparently, the only way I can stay healthy and make smart food choices is to NEVER eat out, or hang out with my friends, or do ANYTHING except make my own food at home. It's like...you can't bring an alcoholic to a bar and expect them to do well. That's how I feel right now. Like an addict. Got my "fix" last night, instantly regretted it, and now I feel like shit.

I went to my friend Lindsey's last night. She is one of my longest and greatest friends and we decided to dinner because we don't get to see each other very often. (Normally, I try to eat BEFORE i see my friends unless they, too, are trying to eat healthier.)Well- I get to Lindsey's apartment and she is VERY excited because she finally found a chinese place that she likes. Let me tell you, my heart sank. I tried to suggest something healthier but 1. The only places around were Red Robin and Olive Garden...neither of which are any better. and 2. We were in our pajamas so a restaurant wasn't really an option anyway. So..I go with the intention of getting "Moo Goo Gai Pan." Sounds so stupid but it is the "healthiest" thing on most chinese menus. Weeellllll it was my lucky day because this place didn't HAVE it. So at that point I was frustrated and just got the General Tso's. The worst thing EVER...but the only other chinese I like. I only ate half of my "platter" and stopped way before I was stuffed, but I immediately felt sick to my stomach. I was sick in the night, and I feel like I could run to the bathroom at any second. I feel like...disgusting and huge and my weigh in is TOMORROW. I know I didn't make the best food choices ALL week...but I did well. I resisted temptation when I thought I couldn't and then...this. I drank a crap-ton of water last night when I got home hoping maybe it would flush everything out...but my body just retained it all and I'm so swollen my rings don't even fit.


Can I really not function in society without overeating and making stupid decisions? I. Am. Frustrated.


Things I am Grateful For Today:

1. New episode of The Biggest Loser tonight.
2. Already having a dress (that i LOVE) for the aforementioned friend's wedding because it was on sale for $20 last month.
3. Sleep...which I am currently lacking.

It's a learning process! Don't beat yourself up. You can't suddenly change a whole life's habits in a short time. I always beat myself up for not being able to control myself anywhere outside of my own apartment until I heard this: Learning how to eat in a social situation is a MUSCLE that you need to TRAIN. It won't happen overnight. But you can unlearn and learn new ways of being. You CAN! Leave the past in the past and look forward. Beating yourself up for what you did yesterday isn't going to help you move forward. Today is a new day!

I say it was still progress. I mean, I bet there was a time in your life before starting trying to eat healthier that you would have eaten the entire plate, not portioned it out and only eaten half. Like Beets says it's going to take time and practice but I think you are on the right track!

Thank you for the support! I just gotta keep trucking!! That's what I kep telling myself. Also, Beets, I LOVE that saying about it being a muscle. It's so true!

Yeah, it really is. Plus it makes it less about "will power" and more about learning. It's not an all or nothing thing.
