At work on a Saturday, trying to get a head start because we have people out next week and we don't want to be swamped. Plus I need the OT. Moving is expensive!!

So I'm not working out today although I probably should since I missed a regular workout day this week. But I did want to make a post because I think considering everything, I did really well resisting temptation yesterday.

Worked out yesterday morning (man my upper body is sore today), brought a salad for lunch and then later on met up with some friends at a jazz club for a friend's birthday. The place already had a cover of $10 and then I looked at the menu before heading down to the Belltown (Seattle) jazz club to make sure there was something I could eat. I got there a little after most of the group, ended up having a glass of wine and a beer and a Greek salad that was all olives, onions, pepperoncinis, feta and olive oil... Just a small salad. But my friends who were sitting across from me ordered a baked feta with pita appetizer... then salads... then an entree each plus at least three drinks each. I just remember thinking "Oh my goodness, that is a lot of food for two people!"

I didn't eat all the little cubes of feta from my salad and offered them to a friend sitting next to me who is pretty much known as a human garbage disposal (he eats everyone's leftovers). He asked me, "Did that salad even have enough nutrition for you? Did you get enough to eat?"

The whole situation was just weird to me. Feeling like I could never eat as much as the couple across from me had just ordered... Having that friend scrutinizing what I ate as "not enough" while being completely satisfied with my salad and drinks... There's a disconnect there that I just don't get.

All that aside, I wore a short dress and heels which was probably a bit too dressy for the occasion but I went out the door all decked out anyway because of how good the dress looked when I put it on. I felt pretty great.

Random ramblings... I just had to get it all out there.

I have the same problem also when going out to eat with friends. There is this social pressure to look normal and do what your friends are doing. And I think that our friends want us to normalize with them and it's almost like peer pressure to eat as badly as they are eating -- so that they don't feel bad for indulging. My problem now is that now that I've pretty much hit my goal, my friends don't understand why I'm still careful with what I eat. Now I'm getting accused of being too skinny or maybe I don't know how to stop dieting. But how awesome that you dressed up and felt great. :-) I one time read this study where women who wore make up and dressed up a little bit every day lost more weight than the women who wore no makeup. Looking good = feeling good = Looking better. :-)

Yes... eating/drinking what my friends were is what made me fat in the first place! I feel that being around people who really don't care about their weight and what they're putting in their mouths really influenced me to do the same. It's a vicious cycle and it's hard to continue to be around people with vastly different eating styles when you are trying to be healthy...
