So I've been at this since October 6th and really havnt had a pity party yet and thought now was a great time! =P
So I went to dinner with my dad today. We ended up at Chili's which I was happy with because they have the "Guiltless Grill" but the more I looked at that portion of the menu the more I didnt want it. 750 calories is alot...so I got to thinking well something else cant be much more than that so I talked myself into a buffalo chicken ranch sandwhich and instead of fries I got veggies. Then on my way home I called my SO and asked him if he would go to the gym with me and he said yes (I dont go to the fitness center alone at night)....so that obviously justified me somehow winding up at Dairy Queen with a soft serve waffle cone.
I got home and looked up the cals and holy moly! Chilis was 1240 and DQ was 420. WOW. So now I felt horribly and was confused on why I just didnt get the buffalo chicken sandwhich on the guiltless menu and why oh why I stopped at DQ.
On top of it, after I got home, Ben suddenly didnt want to go workout. He's tired because he's had a long couple days at work but I wouldnt had got DQ if I knew I wasnt working out. Apparently this has given me permission to binge the rest of the night. Ive now had a fully loaded PB&J, a couple cookies, and carrots with hummus...all in a few hours on top of DQ and Chilis. I could still eat.
To top it all off I had FINALLY reached the 230's. I was 239 this morning and so happy....and Im sure tomorrow morning will remind me of my binge today.
Tomorrows a new day though. I'll eat fantastically and hit the gym first thing in the morning. I wont let myself come up with any more crazy reasonings to continue eating off plan and when I wake up Tuesday morning for my weekly weigh in I will still be in the 230's!
Thanks for listening!
