Spending this weekend at a friends house about three hours away from school. I love coming to visit here, her family is amazing, but there is so much FOOD EVERYWHERE. I explained that I was vegan, but I think I'll have to cheat some; I don't want to be rude. I'm also going to be writing a ton of papers and studying for finals, which can be really stressful, which often drives to me to eat junk food. I already bought my graduation dress, so I cannot afford to gain any weight; I need to lose some more before then- two weeks. Just hoping that this weekend won't put too much of a dent in my progress. I'm really proud of myself for how well I've been doing, and I want to keep it up.

It's funny, sometimes, being around this friend. She wants to lose weight, too, and sometimes gets upset that I'm losing it quickly, feeling good about myself, talk about dieting, etc... but then she eats soo much. And I can't say anything to her about it, because I don't want to make her feel badly. I use is as encouragement, because I can see her gaining while I'm losing; I don't want to eat the foods she does. But at the same time... it looks so yummy.
