My mom and I just started WW together a week ago. Last night was the first night we went out to eat together and I have to say we did so well! I researched my meal before I went and I brought her the nutrition facts for some of the meals I thought she would want. We both ate, felt satisfied and stayed on track.

Tonight we are going to our hardest restuarant yet..... japanese hibachi!
I researched what we can have and how many points it all is. We are planning our meal before hand and im even bringing a measuring cup with me so I can measure my rice (I dont think my dad and DH thought I was serious when I told them that). I'm really proud of us for staying so on track the first week and going out two nights in a row!

Yayyyyy!!!! Congrats! I know how hard it can be to go out to eat and want what everyone else is having yet have to order something within a certain point range. I usually stick to Applebee's because the points are listed on the menu but I have gone to a few places which were tricky when ordering.

Don't feel silly about bringing measuring cups! I do the same thing and I also bring my own cream cheese when I go to Tim Horton's and I keep a bottle of salad dressing in my purse. Silly I know but it keeps me on track by having a few simple things in my purse.

Enjoy your dinner tonight!!

Congrats to both of you! It feels great, doesn't it?!

My aunt was at dinner with us and was asking all these questions like "can you eat that"? I just measured my food and went on with my meal.

Congratulations! Eating out on a diet is tough. Good for you sticking with it! I love hibachi, so I can say you are a strong person to leave it behind on your plate!

UGH...my mother does that..."Can you eat that?" drives me nuts. I tell her all the time I can eat whatever I want within reason and as long as I have the points for it. She's done weight watchers before...so it's not like she doesn't know...


Pet Peeve of mine...

So great that you will have the support of each other. Best of luck on your journey

I love that you took your measuring cup with you. The next time I go out to eat I am going to take one too!
