Does anybody find themselves considering going over on calories simply for the social aspect of eating out? I was invited to Olive Garden for lunch today. Mmmmmm. Breadsticks. I would really like to go just to see people and get away from the office for a while. But, I looked up the nutrition information online and cannot put myself in that environment. I knew it was going to be bad. But one breadstick (and let's be honest, when have I ever eaten just one?) and one serving of salad is 500 calories. And I wouldn't be full from that. So, I declined and will sit at my desk and eat my black bean, chicken and quinoa salad that I brought for lunch. I miss going out! But going out has always involved bad food and a lot of drinking! And I just can't do it anymore.

Enough complaining. Time for some bragging! I am now on day 10 of my drive-thru boycott. I certainly don't miss the food at all! But there are nights where I miss the convenience. I have eaten out a few times this month but always for a social situation and I've usually been able to plan for it and not go too far over on calories. I've had some kind of a deficit every day. Now if I could just see those pounds drop! I'm sore and my jeans are fitting tighter in the thighs so I'm sure my muscles are holding onto water right now. But just because I know that, doesn't really make it any less frustrating. I just need to keep at it, my body will respond at some point.

We had a new hire class start today at work and our secretary ordered way too much food for both breakfast and lunch. So of course all of the leftover bagels, pastries, sandwiches, chips, cookies, brownies, etc are in my department and someone announces every 10-15 minutes that we need to eat the rest of the food. I'm starving! But I have resisted. It helps that I announced I wasn't going to eat any of it because I brought my lunch and have my calories for the day accounted for. I got a couple "good for you"s which makes it even harder to change my mind and pick up something to eat. Which is a good thing. I don't know why I'm so hungry today. I'm not usually this hungry at this time of day. It's probably because I want so badly to go get some of the free food. I've always been a sucker for free food. But I will be good. I am accounting for every calorie I put into my mouth and that food isn't worth it. Even if it is free.
