Okay today Nate and I were out all day long, literally, so we had to eat out twice, and I didnt have salads :) Plus I had a candy bar, and graham crackers tonight and still only consumed 1600 calories! Its just amazing to me that was all. At McDonalds I had a 4-piece nugget happy meal with a small french fries (instead of the normal large value meal i get) and then had del taco, and just got 2 soft tacos, and a medium fries (instead of the chili cheese fries and steak burrito i usually get) I also had a hershey's candy bar, and graham crackers. I added up what it would have been if I had eaten the foods i normally get, and it was almost 1500 calories more! Im so glad I chose at least a little wiser, 1600 is much better than 3000!!! Even though I ate less than normal, I still thought it was a horrible eating day, but Im so relieved to see im wrong!

That's great!!!!!!!! And the thing that's also wonderful is how it affirms what they always say... No day is a write off, making better choices instead of just saying "well, I've blown it anyway" REALLY does help! I hope I remember your post next time I'm at a fast food place!

Keep up the great work!
