    January tracking

    FF/31 = 6/31

    i love this, becasue fast food or just going out and eating in general are a HUGE problem for me! my husband and i would eat out everyday if we could. hes built so well though..and im not :(..he gains nothing and i gain enough for us both! i plan on cutting back alot and maybe once a week if that. so no more than 4 times in a month is my goal. plus its costing so much money to not just stay at home :(..this is my biggest weight loss hinder. if i can just cut it out id be sooo much better off!

    I know what you mean! I'm still going through it till this day! My husband is thin and never gets big and he can eat anything!!! If we do go out, I try to make myself pick the healthier items and not count it as FF. It definitely takes a lot of willpower to make healthy choices! Like today, my husband and I were at Costco and we were about to eat pizza/hot dog at the food court but I told my husband NO so we went to Dos Coyotes and I got myself a steak adobe salad. =) We are all here for you to help you through this! You can do this!

    Well you know Costcos is my downfall too and I have to talk to myself before going in there because whether you get a hotdog or pizza the calories are killers and even the cheese pizza has 700 calories. Since it is a big piece. It is better for me to get a normal piece from a regular pizzera than there because I know a regular thin slice piece of cheese does not have that many calories at all!! But that is the other pull for FF stuff. They make it so cheap too!!

    Like for me to get a cheese pizza from Costco with a soda is $2 bucks or some insanely cheap price or same for hot dog with pop and more calories than a regular hot dog. If I go elsewhere I have to pay almost $4 to $5 bucks for a much smaller piece of pizza and I never buy whole pizza's anymore because don't need but one slice. So I end up pay more all around because a whole cheese pizza runs $10 and I think Costco again is much cheaper.

    But I tell myself that is OK. Just pay more or abstain all together because I don't need or want the additional calories. I have not been doing good this month. The only good thing is I have been making my selections good or half way good because I have stayed in green on my daily calories. Like today I know I am going to Habachi Grill so I have been eating lighter today and saved half of my calories for tonight. I can eat heathy from grill and plan too and I don't count that as FF either. But yesterday or Wednesday I had FF again but again planned well for it. So even though I am going to these places I am working them in my calories for the day. I hope to do better the next 3 weeks.

    The cool thing about this month is I am not over indulging in the fast foods. I am working them into my calories. Not an excuse for poor eating but I still look at it as a positive for me because in the old days of fast food addiction I would go from one place to another and I would order way too much FF but now I am in control and order what normal people would order and skipping fries and bread. So I can't even be mad at myself. I will just shoot for the best I can do this month :happy: and for sure I don't want to go over 15 days.:wink: because then it is offical a win for the FF monster.:grumble:

    Mary, Meea and Hearts and if I missed anyone good job!!! Sorry I am such a bad example this month for the new ones!
