Hi everyone! I went to a concert with a friend last night. We have known eachother for 14 years and I really noticed something last night!!
Every time I try to lose weight this friend is against it...it is either because "that diet isn't healthy" or "You should know better than to try and lose weight...you will have a lot of extra skin all over and look awful" etc.
We made plans about 4 days ago to stop and eat dinner on the way to the concert as we had a 2 hour drive in each direction.
I got into the car and my friend said "We're running late, so we wont have time to stop and eat at a restaurant, I'm going to drive through Taco Bell instead."
Nothing is wrong with Taco Bell...I used to love eating there, but I told her that I really can't eat too many things there...she said "Well we will get something else later...I brought you some snacks that you can eat"....I thought well thats nice!!
She had teriyaki beef jerky, potato chips and candy. I told her that I couldn't have any of it...her reply "Its only for this one day...it wont hurt you!
And besides we'll have something else to eat later. Here, just have a section of this quesadilla. Have the nachos too...I probably wont eat those."
Luckily I had brought some string cheese and a small bag of South beach crackers with me (I take them along sometimes in case...)
I ate my crackers and cheese...and made do with that...
I was good at the concert...bottled water...she had nachos, a chilli dog and 2 beers...
Afterwards, on the way home she says "I'm really hungry...lets stop and get something to eat..."
I said, "O.k. anything except Taco Bell ok?!"
She said "Its the only thing opened, I know from previous trips."
We ended up passing a Mc Donalds, Wendys and a restaurant...all opened...her reply..."Well I want taco bell...I'm going to order a meal and you can have the taco!" Grrr...I figured at that point...don't say anything else...it isn't worth it...and by then it was so late I didn't want to eat anything else that late! This was also after a 1 hour conversation on the way up to the concert about South Beach, gastric bypass surgery, genetics etc etc etc.
Anyway...live and learn...next time I will eat BEFORE I leave...lol
Do you have anyone in your life that is like that??
She is very heavy...and I wasn't sure if it was a sabotage based on jealousy as I am losing weight or if it was her just being "nice."
