Weight loss and fabulous friends

This is not the blog entry you would expect with that title...

Saturday I went to my fabulous friend Marsha's house for a gathering. You would think I would know better than to do this while trying to lose weight and knowing that it was a dessert-only gala. I know, losing weight and desserts really are a recipe for disaster but I thought nothing of it. I went thinking, no problem, I have control of this situation and I am focused on losing weight.
What a joke.

Clearly, I had not prepared myself for the 8 desserts and two types of chocolate candy that awaited me. I lost my focus of losing weight and dived into the desserts. In fact, 48 hours later I am still eating sweets. The whole event derailed me that much.

Had I prepared myself better and really focused my efforts on staying away from the sweets, I could have kept my losing weight mentality at the forefront of my mind. I could have had the pre-talk with myself about my goals and short-term sacrifice for long term gain. You better believe I won't make that mistake again.

What a great learning!
