Yesterday I had not one, but two potentially disastrous meals yet was able to keep my head about food selection.
I was quite busy yesterday, both at home and running around and forgot to look at teh clock before i headed out to Costco (I would have eaten first). By the time I finished my shopping there, it was 12:30 and I was starving. I still had to go a million other places and would just have time to stop at home to plop the shrimp in the freezer but not fix a lunch. So, I gathered the change in my pocket and tried to pick the least-damaging meal from teh Costco concession stand (not much selection there for the calorie-minded) I decided to go with the hotdog and diet coke.
Then the rest of the errands took the rest of the day and we ended up eating out for dinner. I had some Tikki Masala (love the indian foods) and only finished half of it.
I was full all night and didn't get a chance to go online until this morning to calculate how I did yesterday... It turns out the hotdog wasn't too bad (fat content notwithstanding) and the tikki masala was also not bad. I had actually managed to stay well below my 1900 calorie limit. Woo hoo!
This is a big accomplishment for me right now as I am really struggling to stick to my calorie limit. But knowing I was able to eat out, enjoy it and still be ok tells me that it is do-able :-)
Thanks for all your support :-)

Congratulations! Losing weight is 90% mental, I find. You've got to decide before you take that bite, and if you make the right choice you're all set. Great work.

I agree, it is sooo hard to say no to certain foods sometimes!! But I have also been fairly successful with not eating particular foods lately. Like last night, I knew that my friends were going to want to go out to eat at a fast food place. So instead of going there and ordering a cheeseburger and fries, I ate a salad before I left so I wouldn't eat when I went out with my friends. It was tempting so order something but I just kept thinkin about how the extra calories are really not worth it. It feels so good no know that even though I'm missing out on some good food, it'll be worth it later! I've heard this quote before and I think it's soo true-"Nothing tastes as good then beging thin" :-)

Yeah...and this quote "A MOMENT ON THE LIPS...A LIFETIME ON THE HIPS". Is it really worth it? That's what I ask myself--and think about all the hard work I put into working out. makes you realize it's really not that worth it!
