Someone ate an integral part of my dinner!

[Mermaid02]

I had it all planned out.... it's all there in my journal....
1 cup of chili on a bed or romaine lettuce with tomato.... 1/4 cup reduced fat cheddar and one T of reduced fat sour cream.

SOMEONE JUST ATE ALL THE LETTUCE! I am not going to the store, but now I feel like my day is shot. My plan is down the tubes.

What do you do when this happens to you?

Sounds yummy...Go to the store anyway. The old me would have blown the rest of the day. OR...improvise...skip it...
In the future, label stuff, "Michelle's lunch-Tuesday" I explain to my family, that I don't mean to be selfish, but it is very important to me to eat right and this is how I need to do it.

Go out for Mexican and have a large margarita!

But that's just me, you should probably find a way to get some lettuce! hee hee! Um, do you have any potatoes around? Even though it's not as low point as lettuce (does lettuce even have points?) you could still probably make yourself a healthy baked potato w/ chili and cheese and not blow your points too much for the day!

Good luck, Melanie. And really, when we don't have all the ingredients for what I am planning to make for dinner or if I am just not really in the mood to cook, I can easily twist DH's arm to head out for Mexican. Those darned unscheduled cheat nights always get the best of me!

 

[ohMom]

that's why I do

i'd either eat without the lettuce, or save it for another day and find something else instead. bummer! I do hate it when that happens!!

actually I'd definately eat that without lettuce!

Thanks guys..... I'm gonna stay on program but I know the whole time I'm eating I'll be thinking.... "this would be better with my lettuce"

Ok, you are really very strong willed. If anyone had even remotely suggested I go out for Mexican right now, you'd see a Road Runner dust trail behind me...

GOOD FOR YOU!!! Now you can pout a little bit, that's ok. Hmmm, this is crazy, but what about green beans? If you have a can of them you can try mixing them in with the chili? Maybe? Maybe that's just not a good enough replacement for lettuce? Hmm...
