Day 17: Holy Will Power!

When I first started this journey I told myself I wouldn't be going to bars or clubs because I knew myself...I'd be at a club or bar and be really tempted to drink and then go have some fatty food. Well, I was invited to go to a bbq with some friends and I thought to myself "Well, lemme just go and feel it out, I'll probably have some meat, chat with my friends, and try to have a good time. When I arrived my friends were all eating and drinking and I went straight for a cup of water. I was astonished...I went the whole night just sipping my water (and eating my delicious Mojo marinated grilled chicken) without thinking I needed a drink or anything like that. I had a blast and all sans alcohol. I was tres impressed.

Now came the tricky part. I watch this one show pretty religiously -Rupaul's Drag Race- and the queens from the show were going to be at a club in Orlando this past Saturday. I thought "Damn, they just HAD to do this while I was on this whole hibernation thing" but then I thought "what if...". Well, I decided that if I had enough will power to make through this bbq, where by the way alcohol was plentiful - then maybe I could make through the club. My main focus was just going to be seeing the show anyway, and then I could leave immediately afterwards if I wanted to. Well, I decided to go. I got there with some friends just in time for the show and then did a meet and greet. It was phenomenal! I had a bottle of water whilst my friends were getting totally wasted but it didn't really bother me. Then my friends wanted to dance and lemme tell you, I had fun just doing that, being with friends, dancing and drinking water lol. I was and have been really impressed with my will power. So far, still going strong, not going mad, and making it!

  1. So jealous! Looks like fun, you're going to have to tell me all about it on Monday for the finale! Also, I'm so proud of you for drinking water all night. It's really not as bad as it seems! I had fun with Will and his BF getting trashy at Pulse, and I was sober as could be. Yay Leo! <3
