Good morning ... !!

I do what I do diligently! Before I started I prepared my mind ... no ... I programmed my mind to stick to the rules of what I do no matter what ... No Matter What!

This is exactly the same what I did 17 years back when I successfully lost 57 kg's and I believe that going in with the prepared mindset was the reason for my success!

Now ... given the above I want to share my frustration and I would like to know whether:

1. You experience the same?
2. If so how do you deal with it?

I know what is right and wrong.

I don't have an eating disorder ... believe me ... An eating disorder do not weigh over 120 kg's and once I reach my goal I can switch back to call it "normal" or whatever I decide to do to maintain my weight. This frustration I also experienced 17 years back.

So what is this frustration?

GETTING INVITED TO EAT OUT WITH FRIENDS!!!

1. I 1st try to see if I cant dish up an excuse to decline
2. I normally accept because I don't want to be a party pooper

Going out eating somewhere the drinks are easy ..

1. You drink Coke zero or Tab etc.
2. You can drink water
3. A tot whiskey or brandy or any spirits is about 75 calories per tot

EASY TO DEAL WITH AND EASY TO DO ... BUT ... ITS THE EATING!

I am doing low calories and low fat and not banting or keto . Now:

1. I have to look for the appropriate item on the menu to suit my eating program
2. Should I take a salad I must hope or ask that they dont put any oils or salad dressing over
3. Whatever I choose ... I must now estimate the weight of the food I am eating ..,
4. Etc
5. Etc.

Getting home I feel that:

1. I have cheated
2. I don't want to be antisocial .. I am normally the soul of the party at any gathering
3. This one fail is causing the whole week to be a fail
4. I am not going to reach my goal I have set for my next weigh in
5. I have to start over the next week ...

Am I alone??
