Real life

The weekend has come and gone and it showed me what real life where eating is concerned is really all about.  I do really great throughout the week.  Pack my lunch everyday with healthy items.  Don't really eat out and if I do it's always something that I know what the nutritional values are.  I'm able to stay busy in the evenings so I don't really think about eating all that much.  But come the weekends, it all goes to pot.  Well let me back up....it doesn't all go to pot until about Sunday.  Sunday seems to be the day when I am just ready to EAT!  So this past weekend, we went to Olive Garden on Saturday night which we did really really good!  Then come Sunday, by the time we got out of church we were so ready to eat that we were both saying that we really didn't care what we eat.  In reality we do care but that just goes to show you how food can take over your mind if you allow it to.  Sunday at lunch we went to eat at Ruby Tuesdays and we did pretty good!  Had a low fat meal but we did order a dessert which all of us (the whole family) shared.  Then Sunday night we went out to eat with some people from church to a mexican restaurant that we love.  Although I didn't do all that bad, I had the mentality that I didn't care what I ate.  I ended up eating 2 tacos (beef, hard shell, with lettuce and cheese and a little sour cream), some rice, chips and salsa with cheese.  I was miserable afterward of course and was wishing I could just throw up and get rid of it.  I didn't do that of course but I sure was thinking it.  So here I am back to Monday and back on track.  I have found that I really love eating until I am satisfied and I hate being stuffed!  So from this day forward I will make it a priority to figure out what I can do not to allow food to take over my mind on Sundays!  :-)
