The best of intentions....

I have a wonderful co-worker. She is young enough to be my daughter and we often joke about our mother/daughter work relationship. She is stunning. She is fit as a fiddle and does insanity three times a week. Of course, she has been part of my weight loss journey, cheering me on as I chug back towards a normal weight.

She was in charge of our food for a lunch/work meeting today. She knows that I am trying to be low fat in my weight loss and that I really don't eat that much meat. She ordered fajitas for the meeting participants, and for me, she ordered chile rellenos. Meatless, yes. Low fat, NO! They were deep fat fried. I didn't want to be rude; after all, she really tried to pay attention and choose something she thought I could eat. 900 calories. 900 oh my goodness, can't take them back calories.

I ate them and now I feel miserable. The fat caused cravings that I haven't had in the longest time. Sugar and fat = one lethal combination for me.

I was good for dinner, and hopefully, there won't be a consequence on the scale. It is bad enough to plateau, but a gain for one out of control meal would stink.

I know this is a process. I know I am in this long term. It just seems hard sometimes. It seemed so much easier two months ago. Why?? Is it because I was still at a point where no one knew I was losing weight? I was still working so hard so they would notice?

I have to find my answer. I need to find my next motivator. I need to reflect and figure this out.
