I feel you on the fear. It keeps me in "hermit mode" whenever I'm doing well. Some day I will have to figure out how to eat well in social situations without stressing out but it has not happened for me yet. Congrats! That is a really big thing. Especially with any kind of spinach artichoke dip.  

Spinach Artichoke dip is the devil LOL for diets! It's really hard not to stress out about restaurants, which is why I try not to frequent them. I need to find some guys to date that actually like COOKING healthy food instead of the restaurant.  

Let me guess, you went to applebees? That's the meal I always get at applebees if i'm not in the mood for the weight watchers meals (or if I want to hide that I'm eating them...) lol. Anyway- You deserve a biiiiiiggggg congrats for only eat 2tbsp of artichoke dip!! HOW did you just stop eating it? You should bottle that willpower and sell it :)  

My friends were telling my, just yesterday, how great spinach artichoke dip taste..... thanks for letting my know about the "devil" before I tried it... can't miss what I never had... LOL.. Hi Beets!  

Applebees yes!! lol For some reason the waitress brought a small container of salsa which I had about a tablespoon of with some of the tortilla chips. I think that's the only thing that saved me. Polarbear, don't try it if you can help it! The bad thing is with the 2 for 20 deal is that their appetizers are ALL bad. I mean how do you choose from onion rings, mozzarella sticks, or spinach dip? I let him pick because I couldn't decide which was worse.  

Way to go! I am having dinner with the wife tomorrow. I told her to fly swat my hand if I reach for the bread. 

Good job staying within your points and having a nice time with your friend. 

Yea, all the appetizers are horrible for you. I always cave for the wings, and it turns out a whole appetizer serving of them is 45 points. That is enough to keep me away from now on!
