Last night, boyfriend and I were watching goofy shows on Cartoon Network. They kept having Happy Meal commercials. I mentioned that that sounded really good... started reasoning how I could fit it into my remaining calories for the day, and it actually fit pretty well... the craving was strong!

He agreed, but then mentioned what would sound even BETTER? Burger King was across the street, and they have new onion rings, and the mushroom swiss burger, and ....

I could quickly see how this would get away from me. The calorie counter in my head blew a gasket, and I decided settling in for the night and ignoring that craving (not to mention staying inside/not having to go back out, especially when we had healthier food in the fridge) was the way to go.

I actually got tired and fell asleep on the couch instead of eating anything for dinner. Haha ^^;

    Way to go! Last weekend I was doing the same thing with Mcdonalds and how it could fit in my calorie schedule. But I ended up passing on that and cooking at home!

    Keep up the great work!
