So I met a friend for lunch today and they didn't have much time to eat so we went to McDonald's :noway: BUT I made a really healthy option by having a grilled chicken caesar salad with low fat dressing and no croutons which only came to 240 cals and 9g fat. I'm so happy, for once I wasn't even tempted by the fries!!! A couple of months ago, I wouldn't have thought twice about wasting the good part of 1000 calories on a burger and fries! :happy:

    Way to go girl!
    I know how hard it can be sometimes and you did a really good thing for your body. It's such an amazing feeling when you know you've done right. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Good work!

    And didn't you feel like you were having a "treat" even though you made a healthy choice?

    That's so great! You know you're in a groove when the fries don't even tempt you!

    I know how you feel. I had to make a choice like that on Saturday when my family and I ate lunch at Sam's Club. I was planning on getting a salad, but they were out of them. :frown: My husband had a polish dog (theirs are really good) and my kids had big slices of pizza, but I just had a Diet Coke because there was literally nothing else to eat that was calorie-friendly. I just waited until we got home and made myself a huge, yummy salad. And it paid off because I was down 1.5 lbs. at weigh-in this morning! :bigsmile:

    Keep it up!

    Isn't it amazing how much better it feels to make the healthy choice and how much better your body feels than if you had gotten the burger and fries??

    Good going!!
