Meeting Friends on a diet

5 Replies

Hi does anyone have any good ideas for meeting up with friends that don't include food and drink?

Ive thought of a spa day but any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Craxykitten,

Your idea of a spa day sounds great. 

I can think of a few others to add:

Going for a walk with friends

Playing a sport together - e.g. tennis, Badminton, netball, etc - depending on your preference

Shopping for clothes together

Playing some kind of game - Scrabble, Monopoly, chess etc

Watching a film at the cinema 

Seeing a theatre play or production

Can't think of anymore.

Hope you find lots of ideas.

I've always met up with a friend, for early lunch or coffee and cake, I just re adjusted my allowances for that day, nothing ruined or over budget too

Go for a long walk and take a picnic that you have planned & know the calories.  

I also just meet friends for cups of tea and try to stick to herbal teas (without the cake sadly, but that is getting easier now).

How about doing a hobbie together?  Not sure if coffee counts as a 'drink', but you do get skinny coffies. Or even healthy food option restuarants, that in itself can be entertaining!

Hi i understand this is not an answer to your question really but I have taken things into my own hands and accepted the food and drink thing but now do it at my house and control the cooking so carrots and home made houmas - followed by steamed veg and a grilled fish or chicken - very sensible with drink my end too - other than that we have wi nights golf/bowling etc no food but snacks as above 

Have you tried monopoly nights 

I hope you get to find a solution it's blooming hard work isn't it especially for the "no need to diet club " that attend 

Good luck
