ack, i'm about to eat my head off

[knicknack]

Help, convince me not to!

I was invited to dinner tonight, and the dinner party got merged with another one (hosted by two of my good friends). Turns out the two friends invited my EX BOYFRIEND and not me, and then when the parties merged it became...well....difficult. He got invited because some people he knows are visiting the hostess of that party, but geez, I know them too. So basically, I didn't get invited to a dinner party because of that jerk, and now i can't even go to the one I wanted to go to because of him.

The short story is that we are in the same grad program, and while I'm the one that did the breaking up, he's the one who was a jerk about it. So it was friendly until he turned into uber-jerk and now it's become hard. I'm still really mad at him for what he said to me, so I do'nt want to see him.

I know the strong person would just go to the stupid dinner and ignore him, but I just can't deal with that. Plus I'm SO mad that my friends invited him instead of me, even though they claim to be on 'my' side.

So, now all I want is a pizza and 5 gallons of ice cream. Help!

Ok, before you eat your head off (or pizza or icecream - better than a head, but still full of carbs), think about this:

1. You want to go out of ketosis because some jerk got invited to this party and you didn't?

2. He has THIS much power over your eating?

3. You know how this guy makes you feel? Can you feel it? Now....you know how sick and disgusting and tired you feel after you eat pizza and icecream? Which is worse?

4. Is there a legal treat you can give yourself right now? Like cocoa powder and splenda in some whipped cream? Sugar-free jello with cream? Something high in fat?

Hang in there! I've got my fingers, toes and eyes crossed for ya!

argh, you're right. I can't let people make me fall of the wagon. I'm trying to glue myself to the computer to prevent me from picking up the phone. heh.

This guy makes my stomach turn - not in disgust but nervousness I guess. And my friends....that's even worse. I'd expect more out of them, tha'ts even more disappointing.

I need to think of a legal snack. I think I have splenda somewhere. I have blueberries, but I'd probably eat the box and they're probably bad since they were in there before induction.

ARGH.

Find something yummy! Light a candle or two, and enjoy! Take a short walk! Take a bubble bath!

Okay, I ate some pate with a couple of pickles. And I'm having a glass of sparkling water with a dash (literally a dash) of vodka in it, to pretend like it's a drink. Trying to relax.

*grr*

Re: ack, i'm about to eat my head off

hey folks..

made it through. LUckily I had harry potter to occupy me - i just read til i was so tired I was reading with one eye closed and then went to sleep. ;-)

I'm going to a yoga workshop with the girl who'd invited me to her dinner party today, so I think that will be good. 3 hours though, I need to eat enough to not zonk out halfway through!

If you think you're ready to crack (for whatever reason) reach for extra fatty foods even if it's more than you normally consume. This should get you over the difficult period without going out of ketosis.

Not to worry, Terry. I'm determined. If we can't all do Swan Lake by September, perhaps we can do The Nutcracker by December!!!!

Re: ack, i'm about to eat my head off

Nutcracker sounds interesting

Bill?
