well, I'm back from New Mexico and as you can tell from the last two posts, I completely de-railed and then some. I got pretty emotional about it because a) it was by far the worst binge I've had in a long time and b) i'm totally PMS-ing right now, heh

Thanks for the warning on Olive Garden. Sometimes I don't even want to eat out when I'm trying to control points because there are so many crazy restaurant items that have like 2000 calories.

You have the whole week to get back on track and it sounds like you're motivated. You'll be okay, it was only a couple of days.

Yeah. I'm already feeling better now that I worked out and am eating a huge salad. Eating right and working out makes me feel so good, so it's irritating when I eat crap, knowing very well that it's just gonna make me feel like crap. Ah well.

I adore you and am glad you had a fun time with your relatives. That's the important thing.

I am assuming it's the dressing at olive garden that's a million points? I always ask for it on the side, and do the fork dip. I haven't been to that restaurant in ages. I don't really feel a need to go back.

I totally understand your frustration. We seem similar. I get so out of control at gatherings/parites/social functions when it comes to booze and food. I try to have control, but I don't. I always say "ah well, it happened, I'll move on". I say it, but I don't always believe it.

I really hope you have a good day today. I am starting to post my daily eatings again, hoping it'll help me get back down into at least the 160s for good. I hate being stuck in the 170s. It is so frustrating.

I always find that I lack fruits & veggies when I am not eating at home. Others don't seem to eat as many of those things as I do. Why is that? Veggies & fruit are so easy and good for you, yet there seems to be a lack of them at functions I attend.

Thanks, Tina! Yeah, the salad at Olive garden is like their house salad served family style, so I didn't think to ask for the dressing on the side. And the dressing itself was loaded with oil, so it makes sense that it was so high. But what kills me is that they try to push it as a "healthy" option. Yes, olive oil is good for you, but there is such a thing as overkill.

And I totally hear ya on the lack of healthy stuff at social gatherings. It seems to be the norm for me too, unless I bring my own stuff. If there would have been a fruit and veggie plate, that would've been great. Oh well. I'm eating a HUGE salad with like seven different things in it, so I'm finally starting to feel better, ha.
