I want to be the “Hot Girl”…

Friends…sigh…

So I’ve been on Phase I on the last few days, and have undergone self-imposed isolation to assist in my phase I efforts. It’s amazing to me how much I allow my friends to influence my dietary choices. Don’t get me wrong, I love my friends dearly…but they are not dieting, so they eat (and drink) whatever.

I must be honest. Not drinking alcohol over the weekend was a struggle. Even though I was in insolation, I really wanted a glass of wine. I didn’t cave, though. I stuck to my guns. When I’m with my friends, though, it seems that we’re always drinking or eating something that’s not diet friendly.

Why is it that it’s so much easier to stick to my way of eating when I’m not around my friends? I haven’t been in exile for the past year, so whatever I was doing in the beginning when hanging with my friends, I really need to get back to that. Plus it’s ten times easier when I don’t have my friends in my ear, trying to coax me to go to the Cheesecake Factory or other restaurants.

Hmmm. Just something to think about.
