Okay, I guess...

Wekll, today was the day I have been dreading for a week! All of my extended family met at TGI Fridays for a going away party for my Uncle. I had been dreading what I was going to order the whole week, since TGI Friday's does not post their nutrition stats! After agonizing over the menu, I ordered a chicken caesar salad. It was actually a pretty good portion size, not too large and not drenched in the caesar dressing. After beating myself up over it, I got to thinking, all through this weight loss journey I am on, this is only the second time I have been out to eat in a restaurant and both times I have gotten the chx caesar salad. If that is my "splurge," well, I guess there are a whole heck of a lot worse things I could be splurging on, so I was proud of myself. I have also been drinking a ton of water today to hopefully balance out the sodium in the salad. I know I will probably weigh up tomorrow because of the sodium, but I know it will just be water weight and will come off in a couple days!

Shame on TGI Friday's for not posting their nutrition info!!

We gave you the link to TGI Fridays website with all the nutritional stats. They are not "required" to post it in their restaurants. You've known for at least a week you were going there. You could have gotten the dressing on the side like many people suggested in your other thread.

Sounds like you want to blame someone else when it is you who are responsible for what goes in your mouth. Accountability.

Excuse me....Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the purpose of these message boards were to seek out advice, post concerns and get support. Not to get attacked. No where in my original post did I put "blame" on anyone, so I am not quite sure where you are getting that from. Second of all, the official TGI Friday's website does NOT give nutritional stats for their foods.

I am not quite sure why you felt the need to post the way you did. Negativity and a pessimistic attitude towards people will get you no where. In my original post a week ago, I read everyones comments and advice and did what worked for me today and all I was doing in my most recent post was sharing my success.

Oh and please don't even go there about accountability. I have lost almost 100 pounds, so I think I know a thing or two about accountability.

I think your weight loss pictures are amazing !!!! I think you have to be able to go out to eat and pick from the menu without stress. I hope you enjoyed your time at aTGIF and didn't stress out too much about your dinner which sounds fine to me! Wow! Your journey inspires me and you seem exceedingly ACCOUNTABLE to me. Take care.
