Quotes to ponder:
“Unfortunately, you are alone with yourself when you wake up with the damage the next morning–it is your journey alone and no matter what your friends order, you need to understand what choices YOU want to make.”
“We tend to associate the weekend with relaxation and being able to “relax” on our diets.”
“When one woman orders some not-so-healthy option, it gives the rest of the women in the group permission to do the same and join in.”
