Worried about this weekend
| Fri, 01-16-2004 - 9:37am |
My bf and i are entertaining guests from college this weekend. We already vowed to stick strictly to the food plan (there are many places we can go out to eat with our guests and not stray off the diet). THe problem comes at night. Our friends want to go to a bar. (we are only 22 years old and this is a common occurance for us). We talked about it last night and we said that it would be hard to stick to the no alcohol rule in phase 1 (currently on day 5). BF said he will have straight vodka and i said i will have 1 or 2 glasses of dry red wine. Will this hinder my weight loss? I really only want to lose 10 pounds in total to lose the weight i gained during college drinking.

Well if you absolutely MUST indulge (and I do remember being socially active at 22 -- not much fun to be at a bar and not have at least one).

As for your bf, you cant police his actions. As Ive learned from years of trying to slough these extra pounds, you just have to really want it. If you dont, you'll end up sliding anyway. Does he really want to lose it? Talk to him. Maybe he'll drink virgin drinks with you, or stay down to one or two drinks if nothing else.
Truly,
