I could have and wouldn't have felt the least bit guilty about it. It has been months since I've seen a drive thru but I was at the office today and was out of salad fixin's and fresh foods of any kind. Looked in the freezer and thought I don't want this, I don't want that...you know the story. Decided it was total laziness on my part to want to RUN to the nearest drive thru and made myself eat a bowl of frozen soup I had made some months ago (just scraped off the freezer burn, it was fine, LOL!) When I was done I was full, guilt free, nutritionally sound and totally calorie conscious! I saved myself a Gazillion calories and Fat Grams and felt GREAT for my accomplishment! :bigsmile:

    IT IS SO SO SO HARD FOR ME TO PASS BY THE DRIVE-THRU'S & NOT STOP!
    BUT I NOW AFTERWORDS I WILL FEEL SO HORRIBLE AND BE SO MAD AT MYSELF FOR IT!
    I WENT FROM EATING FAST FOOD TO PRETTY MUCH NOT EATING ANYTHING BUT SUBWAY ONCE IN AWHILE. & EVEN SUBWAY IS HIGH IN CALORIES IN MOST OF THE YUMMIER STUFF.

    BUT GOING THRU THEM DRIVE-THRU'S ARE WHAT MADE ME FEEL AS BAD ABOUT MYSELF AS I DO, & IT'S ALSO THE REASON I BARLEY HAD ANY MONEY!

    Yes, I also considered Subway. But, even with their healthiest protein-type choices I knew it would send me overboard. Not just calorie wise for the day but just too many tingles on my taste buds that would make me want more and more and more in to the days to come, I think it's either the sodium or a preservative in their meats. I need lean, healthy proteins for breakfast and lunch on most days to stay on track and keep my hunger in control. I'm learning my *triggers* and it's a very powerful thing! And yes, I saved close to $7 today by avoiding Wendy's! Another small victory!
