Ah, I do love Fridays! Besides the fact that, well, it's Friday and the end of the work week, it also marks the first complete week of work and the diet!!!!! Remember where I said in an earlier post that I have to rejoice in the little things? Well this is me rejoicing in the little things! Work is done, I'm four days down, I've yet to bite my boyfriends head off, and I have not become a nocturnal eater (wake up in the middle of the night with such a strong sense of hunger that you MUST eat). Usually by this time in every other diet I've tried, the nocturnal hunger sets in and bye-bye diet. I am by no means starving myself by eating nothing...I am taking many of your suggestions to heart, limiting my intake of fats, calories, and carbs, and switching to five small meals a day (oh by the way, thanks for the 'nut' suggestion, it's a life-saver!!!!).
Now it becomes the struggle point I believe - the weekend. The time in which every 20-something female enjoys the company of friends and some fun. I am no exception to this and have a pretty busy, if somewhat hectic plan laid out for the entire weekend. My boyfriends parents are taking us out to a very nice lunch tomorrow to belatedly celebrate my birthday, to be then followed by a fabulous shopping, dining, and all around amazing girl-night with one of my closest friends. Where's the problem? You all know it. The dining out and still being healthy. How do I manage to get something without looking like I'm bird picking at her food and still enjoy it? I must also admit to you that I am a picky, no make that a VERY picky eater. Seriously, I could live off of cereal and Kraft Mac & Cheese and would be content for life. So my worries for this weekend are a) enjoy and look like I'm enjoying lunch with my boyfriends parents while still eating a healthy meal, b) have an amazing time with my friend, while still being conscious of calories and carbs. Errrrr! I cheated on the weekends for every diet I've ever done, and I won't do it now....ok well almost won't. I know, I know....but I'm a HUGE football fan and Sunday is football and pizza day with the family. There are just some long-standing traditions that not even a diet can change....sorry for any disappoints, but do know that it will only be one slip, and I am planning for it, so will be extra careful with every other meal that day.
Hmmm....bathroom calls. Really, I'm going to figure out a way to create the attachable toilet. You know one that just sticks to you butt and will prevent you from having to get up every minute...especially when you're trying to cuddle with your boyfriend! Oh the sacrifices we women make to be thin.....

congrats on your first week -- i look forward to hearing about the weekend!
If you know where you're eating, a lot of restaurants have menus online, often with nutritional data. looking at that ahead of time could help you relax/plan.
you can have pizza just eat like cheese only, pick off the toppings. You dont have to always miss out just change it a lil bit.
So are you working out??? i asked that before? you havent mentioned it.
They say the worst thing about pizza is all the cheese so maybe try going light on the cheese and heavier on the veggies =)
