Weekends are when you go out with your friends and live it up...unless you are dieting apparently. There will be no eating soup, salad, and breadsticks...there will be no cocktails with the ladies, no popcorn at the movies...you my friend have bigger fish to fry. (Oh, there will be none of that either! LOL)
That was the lesson I had to learn this weekend. Not that I do all of that anyway, but, I had plans to go see Sparkle (Which, btw, was really good, better than I thought!). We went to dinner, but I had to be good. That was different. No Queso dip for this one! No Honey Chipotle Chicken either...
I was texting my cousin, Mo, about it and she said something that made my initial disappointment vanish...
She said " When I eat clean, I don't partake in Girl's Nights, it's too tempting (Ain't that the truth!) I prefer to give it 100% in order to get the benefits. I tell myself, there will be plenty of gatherings with friends later when I 've earned a reason to celebrate." Man...she's good...she gets me every time! And I love it!
She is absolutely right, once I have mastered eating right, I will be more capable of eating right during these times out. And once I have reached my goal, I can celebrate...have a skinny margarita, or chips and salsa! But not until I get there. And buddy let me tell ya...i'm not there yet. So no GNO's for me for a while. That is a sacrifice I am willing to make to better myself!
Besides....think of how hot i'll look when I do go out....
