I just don't get it.
 

I went out to dinner last night and had Mexican Food, My favorite! I went in with my mind set on making good choices.

Then the chips came...and salsa. I thought OK I'll just have a couple knowing that I wouldn't stop after a couple, I never do.

I ordered Chicken fajitas. A good choice IF you leave out the 3 flour tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, rice and beans that come with it. I didn't.

I came home feeling so stuffed I thought I was gonna pass out. I collapsed on the couch and took a 45 minute nap at 8PM! I felt awful. Got up and went to bed.

This morning I stepped on the scales to find I had LOST 2.5 pounds since yesterday!:carrot:

Where is the logic?

My daily calorie intake averages about 1800 so it's not like I'm starving or anything.

I'm not looking for answers because I know there aren't any. I just thought I would post this for those of us that stress out over every little thing we eat, day after day.

Even if we slip up every once in a while, it's OK. It's not the end of the world.

Congrats on the weight lost! Don't you just love it when the scale moves down! I know I do.. Good luck!

Congrats on the 2.5 pound loss! :bravo:

You realize it's the result of all your hard work before last night's dinner, right? And it would have shown up today regardless of what you ate last night? ;) In fact, last night's dinner isn't even completely digested yet, so it's possible that you might see a little bump up on the scales over the next few days. But it would probably be mostly water, so don't sweat it. Keep up the good work! :)

Thanks thefashionista and welcome to 3FC. I don't post that often I mostly lurk.
The support and info here is fantastic. Good luck on your journey.

Meg- I know, and I have been working harder. It's cool when you see it on the scale on a day you don't expect it.

thanks

Thanks for the little bit of inspiration!!

Keep up the good work and congrats on the 2.5 weight loss!
