Soo, after gym and some errands today, I was craving an egg and cheese on a bagel from Dunkins. So I logged onto here, and checked the calories, and decided it wasn't worth 550 calories. This would've never happened a month ago..I would've gotten it and some munchkins on the side too!

    Way to go! When I do errands or am at the grocery store I'm ALWAYS tempted to buy junk food or fast food especially when i'm hungry! But if you keep up your willpower soon enough you won't even think about going there! :)


    Yay for willpower!

    I had the same question until I spotted it in someone's thread. It means "non scale victory"--something like your rings are fitting looser, or someone commented about how it looks like you're losing weight...basically a little victory that has nothing to do with the number on the scale. I like that idea, and it helps me to look harder for the small victories.

    Oh Lord...I think the salad there might be worse than the breadsticks...sad, but true! How did the first poster get out of there eating 460 calories? I think think they had anything that low....

    I order my salad without dressing & I pick out the croutons. The salad & a bowl of minestrone soup is pretty low. Kinda defeats purpose of eating at Olive Garden though. :wink:
