So today my mom came over and bought me lunch a grilled chicken ceasar wrap from Wawa. It looked so good and I thought how bad can it be? Wraps are supposed to be healthy rite? Wrong!!! Looked on the back and there was a whopping 480 cal! OMG so what now do I tell my mom I don't want it or just scarf it all down and hate myself later. Than I had an epiphany "I don't have to eat the whole thing" now for me thats a big deal because I have never met a pint of Ben n Jerry's that I couldn't finish in one sitting. So I ate half with an orange and a bottled water and I was satisfied. This is a major milestone in my weight loss journey.

    That is great! I have had this problem too. Who knew you could eat half a sandwich, 1 slice of pizza, or a small ice cream... ?

    Not me until 6 months ago. :)

    Wraps have too good of a reputation...the tortilla around a chipotle burrito is 290 cal -- just by itself!
