Peer Pressure

When you are the biggest person around your group of friends they really don't understand what it's like to to try to get healthier and eat a plant based diet. 

What do I need to do?

-eat plant based 

-drink less alcohol

-exercise religiously

-avoid gluten

That's really it... If I do that I lose weight fast and get the physical life I want so much.  

Then the social aspect kicks in all your friends are eating burgers and fries and washing it down with an ice cold beer. (ever been the only one not drinking? It makes people very comfortable). For me I feel pressured to drink or eat what they are eating. All too often when this happens I fall off the deep end and eat too much of the wrong food and drink too much booze.  

I'm at my wits end with this. I refuse to give up and I refuse to allow this cycle to continue.  

I know I can't say forever but my immediate goal is to not to ingest any animal products today.  I'll let tomorrow take care of itself.
