    You forgot the part where you shove finger foods in front of your toddler so he doesn't take a margarita bath and then shuffle your four-year-old to the bathroom and miss the waiter taking your order....

    what are these children you speak of..???

    I actually dissected a kebab today to figure out the calorie content. lol

    I took apart a damn tuna hoagie the other day to weigh the individual components. The extra helping of shame put me over my calorie goal for the day.

    Did that to a Walmart All American sub - once. Now I have the recipe and just weigh what I got. Boy was the database off by about 300 calories.

    This is an excellent idea. I should double check my Subway sandwich next time.

    It's so weird how they use the wrong word everywhere else!

    Get it right, it's a hero. ;)

    To quote Dennis Leary from rescue me:.
    "Where are these terms coming from? I'll tell you what a hero is.
    A hero is Ted Williams, John F.
    Kennedy, those are heroes.
    This is meat in bread.
    This is a sandwich, is what it is."

    :)

    ...between restaurant meal 'post-mortems', kebab dissection, and a recent thread's mention of a donut exorcism, I think we've got nearly all bases covered, at this point, when it comes to the what-food-based-'operations'-should-we-perhaps-perform-under-cover-of-night-or-otherwise-agree-to-speak-of-only-in-hushed-tones-and-with-eyes-averted (for fear of 'wth-infused' 'reprisal') conversational sweepstakes... ;)

    (...oh, the ways in which 'what constitutes a natural conversation' in MFP-Land (along with its content therein) -- and which tends to not otherwise occur 'in everyday conversation' elsewhere on the planet -- doth provide entertainment (intermixed as it often is, with lessonry, food for thought, inspirational fare, and hitherto undisclosed 'methods' involving strategy, practicality, and betcha-didn't-see-that-one-comin' forms of interesting surprise -based whatnot... :) ))

    I go straight to "blow out" at Buffalo Wild Wings. One look at the menu and I'm like "Gotta have cheese curds! Oh look mojitos. I love their mojitos, I'll have one of those. Boneless wings with sauce on the side and all the blue cheese you will give me plz! I need another mojito." DH got to BWW before me last night and ordered a veggie app and barred me from ordering a fried app saying the boneless wings was enough fried food for one meal. :grumble:

    yea, when football season rolls aroundI am a buffalo wing and beer nazi …coincidently, that is right when bulking season starts..hmmmmm

    Sadly my decade long bulk cycle came to an end. :cry:

    This trip down memory lane makes me so glad my girls are old enough to walk themselves to the bathroom. Also a solid reason as to why I was not sad DH didn't want a 3rd spawnling. ;)

    I don't want to wish their lives away, but darn if this doesn't sound exciting. Also when I don't have to spend a billion years cutting their meat up into less deadly pieces while my food gets cold.

    Yeah, the schwarma I like is a good 200 calories more than most related entries in the database, by my reckoning.

    It takes a lot of time and effort to learn how to eyeball this stuff, though. Especially for people new to counting.

    Throw him back!


    Dude, I was so over yesterday anyhow that *not* having the cheese curds was likely wise. I didn't have any mojitos either, just root beer. I live on the edge I tell you.

    I look forward to the day my kid does this. At this rate, she'll be in pull-ups until she's 10... She inherited mine and DH's stubbornness, which is horrible when it comes to potty training :unamused:

    Edited for quote fail, I hope.
    Maybe now?

    My youngest was (and still is) so stubborn she was born 8 days "past dates". She does what she wants. It's aggravating as hell, but at least I know she'll be adept at holding her own as an adult. :laugh:

    My youngest gags on all hunks of meat that isn't chicken, so I still cut other meats up really small. Suffice to say we don't have things like beef stew or steak often because I just prefer to avoid that drama at dinner time. *eye roll*

    If possible I always look at the menu ahead of time. I have had a real problem in the past with impulse control -- and if I wait until after a drink to decide, I'm a gonner. So 1) I don't drink more than one drink 2) I don't have a cocktail ever -- only beer or wine with my food and 3) I check out the menu ahead of time whenever I can. This really has helped me a lot!

    You just wait until they're walking across the stage getting their high school diploma. Then you'll wish you could cut up their meat again. :cry:

    I must admit I used to panic when I started back in January. Now I just check out what I believe will be lower calorie and not finish the plate. Most places luckily have nutritional information though.

    I went to Wetherspoons with my folks yesterday for curry club. Instead of my usual chicken tikka, I had the sweet potato and chick pea curry. Gave my dad half my naan bread, only ate half the rice and left a poppadom and I was still stuffed.

    I will admit, if I'm ordering a pizza for example I'd rather get one from somewhere that I can track nutritional information, however last night I was having a Curry, I mainly have tandoori chicken and chicken pakora's so I know the batter adds up abit. I order, I enjoy, I expect weight gain due to the high salt and then I crack back on the next day. Gotta live your life :)

    that's right! cause everybody knows you gotta cut out all white food in order to lose weight, white food just ain't natural!

    Sorry for the off topic but are you from near Philly? There arent many people that i know who call it a hoagie.

    I'm 10 minutes from Center City (on the Jersey side of the Delaware) and can hear the stadium fireworks from my front yard. You nearby?

    Was it from Wawa? B)
