So, the other day, my boyfriend comes over and is eating a Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Wendy's...I had a bite, and from there on, I had a full on craving....So that was Thrusday...All weekend I was thinking about that damn sandwich, but I couldn't quite justify getting one...but I know me and I know that when it's something like that, I will eat all kinds of things to fill that void, when only one thing will do. Anyway, last night I am craving it, and the Wendy's is 10 minutes away. So, I went to Jack in the Box (2 minutes away) and got their spicy chicken sandwich. I went home and immediately cut it in half and gave half to my boyfriend as well as half the fries...It was totally satisfiying and it filled the craving void. I am so happy that I can do that now, and not feel deprived. I know that with little things like this, I will be able to make this a life long change.

Thats great! That is what you have to do sometimes to get rid of those nasty cravings that nag and nag.
Congrats!!!

that Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Wendy's is SOOO good! haha

That is great you satisfied your craving with lots of self control. That is success. Congrats.

darling, that was a wise choice, and a very good one indeed. You see, you wont have to cut your favorite things out of your life to call it a healthy choice- that simple reduction is also a healthy choice! (well, healthier than if you ate the whole thing!)

CONGRATS!! I'm still at a point where I can't imagine just having half So I'm better with none at all... That takes a lot of will power, so be proud of yourself!

Im the same way. I cant just have one bite of something. I'd be craving it till I got one. I love Wendys and Jack in the Box's spicy chicken sandwhich. YUMMY! Im craving one now. Lol. Anyway good job on only having 1/2. See you can still have the things you love and still lose weight. You just have to be smart about it. I probably would of cut out the fries and had the whole sandwhich. But that's just me. I love the sandwhich. Lol.

Of COURSE it's a success... a big one!! You ate a reasonable amount and gave the rest away... that's GREAT!!! And this IS a lifestyle change and something you need to be able to live with... so you handled it VERY well IMO!!!

You have to give yourself credit for every victory now matter how minor they may seem

Yay YOU!!

good for you! I always try to leave something on my plate when I eat out it helps so much with controlling calories!

Taming cravings? That is definitely a milestone!! Congratulations

ahh great job! I was torturing myself the other night...dang commercals were torturing me
