    I have the same problem. I have a 45 minute drive to and from work everyday. I have started packing smart snacks for me on the drive so i dont get overwhelmed by hunger on the way. Protein bars, fruit (banana, apple) peanut butter, nuts. It really has helped me.

    I loved your scenario!! And yes, we all go through this mental l battle! I had it today when I was picking up lunch from Chilis. First, I made sure to ask the hostess for the nutritional information for the whole menu, that way I could plan and see all of the numbers, and think all the exercising I would have to do stay within my calorie goal for the day. It helped some. I must admit, that I've gotten so much more disciplined and you will too. It comes with time and experience and surviving the moments when you think you've failed. I'm so proud that I can say that now, because only a short time ago, I never thought I could be where I am today. Best wishes in your journey.

    Ummm yes, I think this is why my husbad says that I'm obsessed. We have so many food choices and it is sooo difficult to pick the right one. If absolutely needed I've been getting the subway grilled chicken 6" with no cheese and tons of vegetables including spinach. I need some kind of dressing so I get honey mustard because it's less calories. Very filling with all the veggies. This is coming from someone who had no problems eating a foot long with mayo, bacon & cheese a few months ago.
