Do you have to be a hermit to lose weight?
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Motivation
For me, losing weight would probably mean cutting back on my social life. I love my friends, but we rarely do much together besides drink beer and eat junk food, and I'm not brazen enough to insist that they all make healthier choices just because I have trouble resisting the urge to chow down on chicken wings when I'm around them. It seems the best strategy for weight loss would be avoiding the social scene, but what kind of a life would that be?Diet Blog has some great suggestions for eating healthy and maintaining a social life. There are lots of strategies that you can use, but here's what works for me:
- Encouraging healthy habits in others, such as a going on a walk instead of an all-night drinking session in the pub
- Making healthy food for my friends and I to enjoy
- Saying NO -- to another beer, to a plate of nachos, and so on. And sticking to it.

No need to back of from your friends, if you put something healthy into your body before you go out to play, you won't want to chow down as much. I eat a handful of snacks or sip some soup or drink a nutritional blend that I get through the whole food farmacy on line. I easily dropped 17 pounds and am still maintaining, looking and feeling much better, I still go out with friends have a couple of wings and maybe a beer, definately a good time! If you want to see what I did go to http://www.farminabag.com and look at the New You Resolution, and the Liquithon.
