Okay so today went pretty well but it wasnt without difficulties. Oh first let me talk about my picture. Today for lunch I ate a WW frozen meal and what I like to do is add other foods to it to make it more filling. So todays lunch was meatloaf w/mashed potatoes and I added the rice and the broccoli. This is one of my favs and this meal was 10 pts. I want to stress this, that I have found that it makes a huge difference when you put your meal on a dinner plate. Before when I would eat a frozen dinner, I would just eat it out of the cardboard thing it came in and you know what? It tasted like I was eating out of a cardboard box! lol Now I know it might only be mental, but this really does make a difference to my taste buds. I do this with frozen meals, leftovers, etc... I am trying to eat each and every meal on a dinner plate and it is helping. Its all apart of me learning to enjoy and appreciate my meals and not just scarf them down.
Okay so today I took my son to the mall to do some shopping for Christmas and with all the excitement I really felt like eating. I know that I am an emotional eater because my moods really affect the way I eat and the more emotional I am, good or bad, makes me just have that bottomless stomach feeling. Anyhow, when we got there, the first place I ran into was California Pizza Kitchen and that started it! I really wanted to eat that! Then I managed to maneuver away from there but then came Olive Garden and my little negotiator was working overtime! and she kept trying to justify why it was okay to go ahead and eat Olive Garden. I wont go into all the silly reasons, theres too many. With the courageous help of my son, I managed to get out of there without giving in. We made it of the parking lot and came closer to home and finally decided on Chili's. That was a much more safer bet and I didnt even know it! I am very pleased with and also a little excited! I just logged in my food and I managed to get out of there with a 16 pt meal!!! and it was pretty good! I didnt know Chili's has a section on their menu called the "Guiltless" selections!!! Who knew??? LOL I had the Chicken Tortilla soup to start with and then the Grilled Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and it came with a side of steamed veggies. I ate some of my veggies but then I traded my veggies for a whole corn on the cob with my son and I ate 5 french fries he shared with me. Now mind you I was still struggling and I almost ordered my own side order of fries but then something clicked and I didnt want to be embarrassed ordering off the lite menu and then ordering fries to go with it, LOL. Now I know 16 is still high, BUT it could've been much worse, maybe like a 40 pt meal! I know this is only day 4 but it was a good day 4 and now I cant wait to see what tomorrow brings. I am actually looking forward to it!
