Roadblocks

I got up this morning and resolved (once again) that this was it. I will definitely buckle down and lose some weight. Of course, every time I do this and I have a fairly good week, something comes up to cause me to go off the rails. Well, I was in work this morning less than a half hour when the office manager asked if I was free to go out tomorrow night for drinks for a co-worker who is leaving. What could I say? But that means that I will have to sit there, starving, until I can finally manage to leave and go home and eat what I am supposed to. I must remember to bring a healthy snack. Update: it's been changed to pizza at lunch. I can work with that (sigh of relief).

I have found that the best way for me to lose weight is to stay on a very strict routine. Ideally, I would not go out to eat at all but that is virtually impossible. But what really gets to me is when I have no control over the menu. For example, last Friday night, I went to a friend's house and we ordered pizza. I asked if we could get some salad but what was really ordered was antipasto. Thanks.

I wish I could go to a spa for a couple of months and not have to worry about anything except losing weight.
