Fast Food is Still Really Lousy
If you're watching your weight and you think you miss eating fast food, don't bother. It's still terrible. Now, I'm not talking about your baked potatoes and your salads that you can get. I mean real fast food.
Last night I had a lousy weigh in I didn't feel I really deserved. So, in that case I felt I had two choices:
A. Be mature, remember all the rules of the scale, remember my successes, and know that I can and will do better next week.
B. Be not-so-mature, go out to Wendy's and get a double cheeseburger combo meal instead of the salad, since I figure, heck, I'll earn that number on the scale.
You can guess what I did. The burger was awful! I can't even tell you how bad it was, which of course didn't stop me from eating it, and then I felt worse for getting it in the first place.
Whew. Not a good night. But I'm back on core today. Just a'spinnin my wheels.
But Saturday is my Christmas party. And I'm going to make a few core items. My friend is bringing the ever necessary veggie tray, and I'm making oven fries and low-fat spinach and artichoke dip. Oven fries are the best! You just cut up baked potatoes, put a little olive oil on them, a packet of onion soup mix, and bake for a half hour. My husband loves them. Plus I'm going to buy some shrimp, also core. Sure, they'll be other stuff there that I will eat too, but I figure if I can set myself up for more sucesses, why not?
Persistance. I've said it before. Yes, I gained this week. Yes, I haven't been losing. But I haven't given up, and won't ever, since that would just mean I gain more, and faster. I will lose, I will get under 200, hopefully by the new year, but I'll get there.
