Yes its Friday. My hubby wanted to go out for chinese. I told him I wasn't ready to face that temptation. It is freezing cold out so that helps. I have decided to cook us a little breakfast. NO BACON..I am hoping I will be rewarded for this good behavior in the morning when I stand on the scales. Happy Friday everyone!

i just took the kids out for chinese....which raises the question...how fattening is chinese? all those veggies...if you stay away from the sweet/sour sauces and fried egg rolls, is it still bad? i'm not dumb when it comes to calories but i may be kinds stupid about chinese food...

hope i'm not posting this reply in the wrong place. this is all new to me.....

have a great weekend.

We are here dear!
I am sure that you are going to be just fine :happy:
Just think of how nuch salt is in that food. and how much water you are not going to be retaining because you skipped it for a more healthy option!
Happy Friday to you too! :flowerforyou: :glasses:

Not all chinese food is bad- most places have a diet menu now where you can get steamed chicken and veggies with brown rice and a "healthier" garlic sauce on the side. I don't know how much better this sauce is than the regular stuff they use but at least you can control how much you use and do so sparingly. I also like to make my own chicken & broccoli stir-fry at home But good job resisting the temptation!

Someone posted a site with calorie content of chinese foods it was a real eye opener. Although I hope the counts were for an entire entree which can be a quite large amount of food.

When I go for chinese now I make sure to just eat the steamed bean curd and brocholli. It can't be that bad can it??? I stay away from the sauces but to substitute I will use some hot sauce.

I did skip it Diane and I feel very good about it. I made a shortcake dessert. I used frozen mixed fruit mixed wth a little splenda. I put it on a shortcake that was 70 cal. and topped it with a squirt of cream. It was quite delicious, even hubby enjoyed it! Thanks to all of you who stopped by. I appreciate it.
