Do you find it a challenge to eat healthy when you are out with your friends who are not as health conscious?
 
I try to have 1-2 cheat meals on the weekend however when I go out to dinner with my friends during the week i feel like i am being judged and looked down upon.
 
It is so much easier being friends with people who are fitness minded like you but that’s not always the case.
 
What do you gals do?
 
They feel like i am suffering or not enjoying life but i actually love eating healthy..

A lot of my friends are either trainers or have been clients at some point, so maybe I don’t have as many problems as you do, but I also live in the Bay Area where everyone is a little more conscious about being healthy.

In the past, I’ve found that your close friends should be supportive of your goals regardless, and it’s actually pretty silly to make a big deal about teasing someone for what they are eating. If you don’t make a big deal out of it and are confident in your choices, and it’s obviously what you want to be eating , I don’t see why it should be even noticed.

I try to surround myself with health conscious friends however i am certainly not going to stop being friends with people that aren’t…
 
I can’t believe people are giving me a hard time even before my wedding!!
 
I went out with friends the other night and they were a little upset that i didn’t share a glass of wine with them… It’s hard to resist it and even harder when they give you are hard time about it :(
 
I wish people can be more supportive… 
 
 
I feel like people who are not as health conscious believe i have some type of eating disorder because i prefer the taste of healthy food.
 
I have a cheat meal once or twice a week but i still prefer fresh fish, steak, ect over fried nasty food that makes me feel like crap after i eat it.. I enjoy a few glasses or wine and splitting dessert but that is still not good enough in their eyes!  Is it not normal to like the taste of healthy food???
 
 
lol i cant win!!
