      You maintain your normal routine. Let them see that you are serious about changing your life. I doubt they are trying to sabotage you, but keep up the good work, it is worth these little challenged to win at the big ones!

      HappyBirthday. Input the taco bell food type into the app. then decide whether or not you want to eat all or part . Drink alot of water. Stay positive and focused.

      I would do what marine suggested: enter the food in my fitness pal and most likely eat just part of it (eating the whole thing probably has way too many calories), that way you don't sabotage your diet but don't look rude to your co-workers.

      Other than that, enjoy your birthday :smile:

      What did they order? A soft tacos from taco bell is like what? 200 calories?

      Omg I love Taco Bell, I just recently was put on to it and put on to like 20lbs.

      Truly the Devils food.

      Just picture if you eat it there will be little bugs growing inside you. I had a bad nightmare about that and somehow I kicked the habit.

      What?

      Are you planning a big meal and/or lots of cake or something with dinner/dessert? Why are you only eating 180 Calories throughout the day? What are we (or is it just me?) missing?

      "Realize" that you had something to do at lunch or a novel thought, just say "No thank you."

      i am saying if i was to skip lunch which i would have to do if i dont eat the taco bell.....i would only have ate breakfast which was only 180 calories.........of course ill eat at dinner.....but that isnt alot to make it to dinner.....so i went and got a veggie tray and put it in the breakroom and ate from that......they got supreme tacos from taco bell....

      But the question is why do you HAVE to skip Taco Bell? Can't you just go have one or two tacos? You can have different things as long as you fit them into your overall day's calorie goals.

      i guess i dont have to skip it...but my biggest concern is that i will slip back in my old ways....i use to eat out all the time and i havent ate out in months tryng to get control of my addiction to fast food.....

      Just mho, but it would have been nice if they could have asked the birthday girl where she would like to go. :/ Then op wouldn't be put in the uncomfortable position of either feeling rude or starving.

      Just make sure you do eat lunch. Not eating can shut down the bodys metabolism.. Wish you all the best on your journey
