Superskinny Friends

Wednesday, August 03, 2011

I'm packing for the holidays and still something hurts, I'll be travelling w/some of my Superskiiny friends and I'm a bit scared.
They can eat as much as they can, the word 'Gym' to them is an unknown term so they do not understand my difficulties with whatever sweet is around.
Not only envy, what I fear the most is my limited awareness and power to control myslef under difficult circumstances.
Even if I will try, I admit I AM SCARED- better be prepared and unfortunately I have no magic pill and I cannot use anything magical.
Telling them I'm trying to lose weight has had no results - I've tried to communicate but if I spoke Chinese Mandarin they would have listened more carefully.
Should I speak or be silent????
I hope I will control myself after the third slice of Sachertorte they will eat in front of me!!!!

  Dont say another word and just eat the smart way to regain and maintain your health.

You are smart and you know what you can should do.

You also are strong enough not to allow others to lead you astray.

You are made in the image and likeness of Jesus Himself and have His precious Holy Spirit dwelling on the inside of you that will strengthen you and lead you into all truth.

So, just be confident, rest, relax and rely and be secure and have faith in Jesus taking you through and above all difficult situations to do with eating the good and healthy way that you were created to eat.

Enjoy yourself in all activities and just relax and have fun.

We are created to laugh, sing and dance in the presence of our Most Beloeved Love Himself.

    I would say it once. If they want to hear they will, if not they won't. As for the Sachertorte, when it's in front of you and you think you really want it, ask yourself: am I hungry? If you are, go ahead and have it. If you're not, tell yourself that you will have it, as soon as you're hungry.

    Its not always easy when traveling and eating with friends. Just do the best you can. If you feel you need to speak up then do.

    Everyone has good advice - keep chatting, drink water (less calories and keeps you full), start with salad, and by the time the torte comes around you'll only want a little piece.

I have skinny friends who are clueless - but they don't seem to notice what I eat (or don't eat) - so keep that in mind.

And I bet you have twice the muscle tone that they do!

    It is up to YOU to make the better choices, no matter where you dine or what they order. You don't have to participate in afternoon cocktails or the desert they order for the table . . . just stay strong and drink your water. They may be 'skinny' but you really don't know what they must do to maintain their figures behind the scenes.

    Marcy, Have fun w/your friends and just make the best choices available. Instead of thinking about and depriving your soul w/food you love, change your thinking to..."you are out w/friends having fun" and when that darn chip/brd basket comes, gently get it out of site, by just pushing it away on the other side of the table. Make a commitment to put a certain reasonable amt on your plate when the food comes. You can do it, just focus elsewhere. Have fun. ~Maci~

    emoticon I use to have that problem with my adopted sister and a few other people as they had no clue about any extra weight. Then change of life happened and now they struggle too. Some day it all changes... But you can do it...
