I attended my company's holiday party last Friday night. My first outing with other adults since surgery. I picked out the perfect outfit that really showed off my weight loss. My co-worker helped with my make-up. I felt so good! Then we get to the party (at a country club) and it is non-stop compliments, praise, hugs, ATTENTION. I loved every minute of it. I even had one co-worker tell me she didn't recognize me at first! I promised myself I would be careful on the drinking. I sipped champagne and wine before dinner. Ate a little salmon and prime rib. My friends/co-workers didn't understand why I didn't grab some bread and veggies. Really, I was full after just a little meat. Anyway- then the drinking started. I stuck with rum and diet coke. I purposely brought only $30 so I couldn't go overboard. I danced, laughed, mingled.... Well, my co-worker told me to ask this really nice guy to dance so I did (she is trying to teach me to be more social). He ended up buying my drinks the rest of the night. BAD IDEA. I don't know exactly what happened...... I remember bits and pieces. I found out lots more yesterday at work. Apparently I went on a kissing spree.... UGH! I was horrified when I first found out. We aren't talking a couple of people. I know of at least 5, maybe 6. I'm afraid there were more. That is so not me!!! I ended up getting a ride home from a couple of male co-workers. I remember getting out of the car but not going in the door. I woke up a few hours later completely sober and feeling like garbage. For the most part, everyone is still commenting on how great I looked and how it was nice to see me break out of my shell (I'm super shy and quiet at work). I've been getting tons of new, positive attention. I can't let that happen again though. Thank god I got a ride home from good guys..... They are my new buddies too   It's been an interesting week to say the least.

Oh! I'm down 9 pounds!!! I've really started hitting the gym consistently and my new found male attention kills my appetite so food hasn't been an issue :) I'm actually starting to FEEL skinny lol.
