So yesterday I was talking about having a weight loss buddy. I asked my roommate if she would be, and she said yes! But the thing is, after yesterday, I don't think it's going to work out. See, she never worries about what she eats. She eats pretty healthy stuff, but portion control is unheard of. She has a fast metabolism because she is athletic and it works for her.
But it doesn't for me, and I don't know if I can get her to understand that.
Last night, I finished eating dinner (which was just a bunch of leftovers, not put together with any thought at all . . . weird). I had tracked it all, and then it was about 9 pm and I was thinking of having a hot drink. Amelia offered to make hot chocolate, and I said sure, because I needed my milks for the day. She gave me a HUGE mug of hot chocolate (granted, I asked for a large, but I didn't know it would be that big!) with a bunch of whipped cream (which I had suggested, because we happened to have it . . . I just didn't think she'd put that much on!). I could have not finished it, I guess. But how could I not finish it?
I"m sitting here blaming my problems on her, when all she did was do something nice for me at my own suggestion. I could have not eaten so much at dinner I could have blah blah blah. I just feel like this always happens- we love eating together and treating ourselves. It's something nice we do for each other. But I don't know how to tell her that being my weight loss buddy means asking me first if I can fit it in my points for the day. Even though I know she's just trying to be nice, I feel like it's sabotaging me. But I don't know how to tell her without coming off like I"m getting on to her.
Sigh.
