going out today

[wiskband]

One of the stratagies of my succes so far has been simply stayng home! So today a friend of mine called and asked to have a play date. We always wentout before witht he kids and I abruptly stopped but, I really feel its unfair to the kids. Anyway she called me aand asked and I said yes. After we hung up I started to think of reason why I should call and cancel. I decided I can no longer do that. See our play dates consists of MC Donalds and I am weak when I go there. lol. Anyway thought I would write my thought as she will be here in about 10 minutes. I have decided to eat a salad when I get here. Writing this before I go I feel may help me in ordering the salad, now that I have told you all I will do it. lol anyway till later.
thanks for reading

I know what you mean. I LOVE McDonald's. But think how confident you will become if this first time you stick to your program. The next time will be easier and the next time even easier.....and so on.

We can't shy away from the real world, can we? Some of this stuff is tough....separates the men from the boys, so to speak.

YOU CAN DO IT!! I KNOW YOU CAN!!

Good for you! Planningyour meals ahead of time is a great way to keep yourself on track. Also, try having something BEFORE you go to Mickey D's. Do you like fries? Take one and pinch it between your fingers and watch the grease run. Are burgers your weakness? My dietician said if absolutely neccesary, order a regular hamburger. Some of those salad dressings are higher in fat and calories (depending on how much you use) than the burger. Though you will be getting a lot of salt from whatever you eat there and that will cause some puffiness. I'd stick with eating your lunch before you go and have a coffee or iced tea and enjoy watching the kids play and talk talk talk with your friend! Good luck!

Keep the Faith!

OK just got back........and I had the salad. Although it didnt look too low fat. BUt i guess its better than a burger and fries. I liked it too. I think that is the first time in my life I havent eaten a burger and fries from mickey dee's. Anyway I feel good now that i actually ate a salad. gald I wrote to you all first too. going to curves now. talk to you later

Way to go! I'll bet you feel great about it. It didn't beat you, and now you can think about getting out more often. That is so cool!
I'm proud of you!

Good job!! Way to go! Doesn't it feel awesome when you become more powerful than your food. I actually have gotten where I don't even order dressing anymore. I get salads with lots of healthy things on them........and I don't need it.

Congrats, keep up the good work.
