    This is my first day back on track. And now I am sitting here on my couch catching up on Mad Men, just watching the clock tick down to dinnertime. Problem number 1 is Im starving, and problem number 2 is Turkey Tacos are on the menu. Why the hell did I choose tacos as my first dinner back...Remember portion control...portion control...portion control! Yes, I can do this :)
    So instead of sitting on the couch, why not go for walk instead?

    Get off the couch, drive or walk to the store and buy a different dinner. We need a discussion about this?

    You aren't being helpful by being condescending. Derision doesn't make people view the world as you do, honey. You could have given your suggestion without the "We need a discussion about this?" part. You were fine....and then you became disappointing as a community member.

    I think even if you strip away the derision, the message itself is completely bogus. What part of turkey tacos can't fit into a well-rounded diet? It's a solid source of protein (a macro that I personally believe OP needs more of than her diary does) with condiments that can be adjusted depending on other macro needs. It's damn near a "perfect" meal for hitting macro targets. (Personally, I'd rather the meat by a nicely seared and marinated skirt or flank steak, but hey, ground turkey isn't "bad".)

    firestation12, what exactly would you have OP buy/eat instead???

    Cookin' up my ground turkey for a quick taco now!! lol I got inspired.

    Personally, when I'm trying to cut down portion sizes at dinner time, I drink a glass or two of water while I'm eating. Makes me get fuller so much faster!

    Agreed! The practice of taking a drink of water between each bite has helped me to slow down my eating and also helps me to feel full. Great tip!
