Well I am so glad I logged on today. I am to get together with the group of friends tonite and they were talking of a fish FRY! I know in my head that it is going to be hard. And had already made up my mind last night that I would go and try to be good. But after seeing and reading more stories this morning I am going to go with a different plan. I will take food that I can eat. I will think of something really great. And it will show them that I am not missing out on the good stuff. I already have the good stuff.

It is so easy to say to yourself that well I am already going to have a few drinks. So there is no reason not to have the french fries and fish fry. That is one of my battles. But I need to keep it in my head that if I am going to drink and I will not add to it by eatting bad things. And I keep my cocktails to one night there is way tooooo many empty cals. in them.

Oh yeah my friends do end up trying my food and liking it a lot. For example I made oven fried sweet potato with cajon seasoning and they LOVED them! So the bad part was they ate them all. Oh well I showed them that food that is good for you can taste really good. And I am so lucky to have a husband that will eat anything I put in front of him. So it really is not a problem until the friends come into the picture. But I am finding myself not really bother to much about the eatting habits of them. I just need to be in the right frame of mind when I am around them.

Thanks so much gjean for the note. I really needed it. I am so glad you posted on my thread that day.
Take care and I will give a summary of how it has all gone.
