feed the remainders to your friend!! - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Yesterday night my friends and I went out to eat at UNO's (chicago grill and pizza). I really only wanted ONE or two bites of steak. I was about to get just a veggie wrap (thank god i didn't, because apparently I found out later it was 700+ calories and 50% of it was from fat!!) but my friends encouraged me to get the steak. I had exactly 2 bites of it and then gave the rest to my friend!!!!!! Then I finished off a breadstick and the steamed veggies. They also ordered a platter of friend stuff.. I had 1 buffalo wing and 1 small mozzerlla stick- not that i wanted it but they made me have some since they wanted to divide the cost of the platter.

I wasn't amazed with the steak or the fried stuff (in fact, it was NOT satisfying) but I loved the veggies as always. BUT I'M SOO proud of myself for not eating the rest of the steak. I just said to her "you wanna try it?" and I dumped the whole piece on her plate. (She didn't refuse

)

Congratulations, you've shown some impressive restraint. Often, when I go out to eat I'm with my boyfriend who is also dieting. We both try to pawn stuff from our plates onto one another, and it doesn't work so well...it's a lot of "Here, you eat this" "No, you eat it and take this off my plate too" "No, you should eat this" well you get the picture. I think I need some friends like yours.

My b/f is also trying to eat healthy and so we decided to only go out once a week, and when we do to share one big plate instead of ordering two plates. It helps that we both like the same type of foods

wow you guys are so lucky. i felt so pressured to eat bad foods because my friends only like fried and fatty things... if everyone ordered salads, i wouldnt have a problem!

Uno's...I remember going there when I lived in Chicago, and it was all about the pizza for me! Yummmmm....

It's probably a good thing I'm not in Chicago anymore, the food there is just too darn good but not so good for you! LOL

Bad news, FL chickie, they have 'em here too! Heheehee... at least there aren't many of them. I only know of one in the Orlando area, and we have multiples of every chain in every 'burb...
