Only 1 drink AND someone called me tiny!

  • We played a volleyball challenge with rival office this afternoon and went for drinks afterwards at a Mexican restaurant. They ordered nachos, chips and guacamole and quasidillas all my absolute favorites.
    I mean good Mexican food is really my favorite. I decided I would allow myself 1 margarita. I stuck to it, partook in none of the food and went home to my planned dinner. Now the margarita was big and probably 400 cals, but I had the room in my cals today so I'm still within range. I had a great time and as long as I go to bed and ignore the alcohol induced munchies all will be well. I know could have just had a diet soda or water, but I'm proud that I could have one drink and be satisfied. Usually I'll have a drink or two and throw caution to the wind and eat till my hearts content.

    On another note, we were discussing how strong the margaritas were, their nickname is DUI, and some said well "you're tiny that's why you're feeling it so soon". I almost died! Tiny!? Me? I just laughed it off and didn't make a big deal about it, but it was still weird to hear.

    I'm hoping I can do as well Sunday at the wedding I have to go too. Dessert is a whole other issue for me. But NSV today!
  • That's awesome! I bet it felt good to hear!
  • Congrats on being tiny and having self-control!

  • That's great! Those throw-away comments can be the best.

    Unfortunately, even at my high weight one drink had me close to buzzed. I can't even imagine what it'll be when I reach my goal.
  • That's great! Good luck at the wedding -- I bet you can do it!
  • that's awesome!! im sure that's just another thing to make you feel like all the hard work is paying of, i mean i know its just a comment compared to all the health benefits you are reaping but it really does feel great when someone notices. i know it would and will for me!!
  • That's how you know you are achieving your goals, when someone says something like that.. Congrats!!
