Day Four: The Melting Pot

Current Weight Loss...1 lb

I have a birthday dinner to attend tonight for one of my friends at The Melting Pot. If any of you do not know that that is, it's basically a fondue restaurant. The first course involves a cheese fondue, the second a oil or broth based fondue and the third is chocolate...sweet delicious chocolate.

Now going out to dinner when you are trying to loose weight always carries several issues with it. Number one, I have to find something to wear that doesn't make me look fat or ...as fat as I am. Number two, do I partake in the food and call it my 'cheat' day? or do I eat something healthy before I get there? Number three, there is no such thing as going out with my friends and 'not drinking'. We don't know how to be social without cocktails. Who knows, maybe we will all sober up one day and find out that we really don't even like each other.

In trying to keep myself from feeling deprived so that I do not gorge myself on something that I know is not worth the calories my plan is tri-fold.

#1 No Beer, vodka soda with lime will do just fine.
#2 I will have the cheese but with the vegetables instead of the bread and I will limit myself two just a few small pieces of the desert.
#3 I will wear spanx.

Does anyone have any other 'dining-out' ideas to add? I am open to anything and everything.
