    If you ate dinner you must be full I assume? So have a drink of ice tea and chat? Or if you are going to have a small snack look at their online menu for nutrition content and see what you can eat. But do it now and not then so you aren't so stressed or pressured into getting something you don't want.

    If you've had a good week, go and reward yourself. One night of extra calories isn't going to hurt! It's always a good idea to allow yourself extras sometimes! :)

    Interesting that I can give this advice to other people, but when I go over my calories, I freak out!

    Tell you friend you have been wanting a salad and order one or some grilled shrimp.

    Can you squeeze in some exercise before or after? That could help you bank some calories. Also, when I'm going out to eat I research the menu to find something I can eat that won't totally sideline me - you'll skip that artichoke dip if you know it's 1000 calories! But there is probably something you can eat that won't be too bad. Worst case scenario is you go over your calories, accept it, and start fresh tomorrow.

    Applebees is a salt factory anyway. I'd give you a recommendation but there is really NOTHING on the appetizer list to eat! I'm biased, because I don't like any of their appetizers. Can't even handle the wings, blech.

    Half-size salad fo sho!

    I'm so proud :) I sat there while I watched each of my 4 friends eat 2 whole appetizers and I had a glass of water!! :)))
