Way to go, Caroline!

I hung on by my fingernails yesterday, trying to begin again ...

:devil: Devil Ryn: "Let's just keep on eating, haven't we had a blast these last months ... think of the dinners out, the candy, the CAKE!!"

:angel: Angel Ryn: "But now those smaller jeans pinch our stomach!! Do you *really* want to go thru the summer slowly letting slip thru our fingers all the freedoms being thinner brought us?! *Think!!* Stop and *think!*"

Yeah, that's pretty much how it went all day! :dizzy:

Have a Losing Tuesday, everyone ...

pizzaparty:(
 

So far it´s been going great and I´ve been really motivated and happy with my progress, but I just found out that next friday there will be a dinnerparty were the students that are graduating will be eating with the teachers. And the only things that will be served will be pizza and cake!:dizzy: I´m not sure what to do, normally If I would be advising someone I would just say "get a small slice of each and work out extra hard and eat only healthy low-calorie food the rest of the day and just count it towards your daily calories, but the fact is I don´t want the pizza or the cake, I would rather have a satifying 400 calorie delicious healthy meal that I make myself than one slice of greasy pizza for the same amount of calories. I just don´t think it´s worth the calories! so I don´t know what to do :( I can´t just go there and sit down with all the students and not eat, I just don´t know how I would explain that since noone knows about my new healthy lifestyle and my friends love to eat and would think I was being ridiculous!

sorry this was a long post I´m just really confused!

All advice will be greatly appreciated!

Well, I would eat a lovely, healthy meal at home then go to the party and when I sat down and didn't have any food in front me I'd just say, "my tummy is feeling off, just getting over a cold, I don't want to tempt fate," and just smile. Everybody understands when you're feeling off and don't want to eat and then you won't have to do any explaining about your choices. I have done this lots of times to avoid eating junk when there just weren't any options I thought were reasonable. :)

I want to be in the middle of the pack in this challenge especially since my muscles are really sore from working out last week. But I am going to try.
