Why do I always cave when it comes to Mexican food? :devil: My
hubby took me to our local Mexican restaurant, and I had totally
good intentions of not eating chips, no drinks, eat healthy...
Then I pig out! Chips, Salsa, Margarhita, Quesadilla dinner...
Why am I so weak?? I am so upset with myself! :mad:

    We all have our weaknesses. Today is another day! Maybe do an extra 20mins of cardio to ease your guilt?:wink:

    My weaknesses are wine and chocolate. I had both last night:blushing:

    For me, I find that if I drink any alcohol, my resolve weakens and I find myself eating anything in front me. I know that is what will trigger my downfall big time, so I have to consciously decide not to order a drink when I get there.

    Don't worry about it. I love Mexican food too, and I would do no better :laugh: Don't beat yourself up too much

    I figure that I'm going to live this way the rest of my life, and the idea of never being able to go to a Mexican feast sucks. :)

    So... I know I'm going to do it sometime. Not frequently, but I'm going to do it. YA! :-)

    It's only infrequently. It's a good thing. Back to normal today is all.

    Life is for living. That means being healthy, and once in a while doing a feast.

    Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.

    I have a weakness for fried foods (onion rings, french fries and calamari especially!), so if I know I'm going to a bar & grill or sportsbar, I usually eat a fruit and down an entire glass of water about half an hour before I go. Since I'm not ravenous, I usually just eat something healthy in moderation when I get there.

    Good luck!

    guilty! I plan out exactly when I'm going to eat & then hubs orders a big cheesy quesodilla with a giant fishbowl margarhita & extra cheese sauce to go with the salsa & extra chips& my "plan" flies out the window. :sad: I hate it.

    don't beat yourself up though - if you did this daily itwould be an issue - but giving in once in a while is good! :smile:
