Oh, they are the worst. I was..unprepared, to say the least. My coworker had a good laugh. I'm kind of hoping that I can be down to 280 by the time I go to my neurology appointment on Monday, so I can show him that I am making my damned best effort to get my weight down so that my sleeping problems hopefully can correct themselves.

Sup, sushi last night buddy!

Just realize that you're breaking you're hampering your progress when you do it and don't shrink away from the fact, and only do it rarely, and you'll be fine in my experience.

Taking ownership means taking ownership of your mistakes, too!

Also, there's diet-friendly sushi out there if you aren't doing low-carb! I like salmon rolls and the like for that. They aren't going to be anything like a tempura-fried eel roll or anything but you also don't have to mope about them the next day

I feel hypocritical saying this but ... don't beat yourself up too much Things like this are part of life and especially part of having a social life which is an all-important human function. Now I'm not saying that you should just go "screw it" and drink / eat whatever you want on a "just because" basis but if we always "shouldn't!" ourselves, it just makes us more likely to fail and be really down on ourselves.

In saying that, I have a lot of issues around "deserving" things (mostly not deserving them actually) so I'm really not one to give advice

You're doing great ... keep it up
