Sunday night I wanted Olive Garden...some of you might think What you can't eat there...well in the beginning of my weight loss..I would say no way...And personally until you know it won't be a problem and you can go and have control..Don't do it...But as of right now I just don't want certain things and even though bread was my down fall....it didn't even bother me a bit NO DESIRE!! Sooooo
I started with their wonderful salad...No I got the light Italian and Hubby wanted regular so are sweet waitress brought us each a bowl and I got mine on the side...I took croutons off and hubs ate them..I had parm cheese on it and a tad drizzle of dressing...Now I said tad of dressing because I really never did like much dressing on my salads, well unless ranch but still don't like tons of dressing...I would rather have salt and garlic powder on my salad. Anyway this tasted so fresh and good.
No instead of going and saying I can't get that and I can't have this...I knew what I wanted from the commercial on tv....lol So I planned for this during the day. for breakfast I had cereal and skim milk...My breakfast like this is usually around 450 to 500 calories. I have 2 c of kashi and or special k or shredded wheat, usually mix 2 of them but a total of 2 cups with about 1 cup milk over it. The rest of the day I drank lots of water and this isn't good but I was busy and didn't eat a thing till 5 when we went to dinner...

I pretty much ate half so I if I ate say 800 calories plus breakfast of 500 I was at 1300..over by 100 or so ...
Now I so enjoyed this will I do this weekly? NO!!...But if I crave or want something now I will have some...But I have not had any cravings at all through this last 5 1/2 months..I also waited till my first 50 pounds before doing this...
Did it hurt me on the scales for eating here...NO!!! I am still loosing and as of this morning I have lost a total of 56 pounds..Still want to loose 63 more...maybe more but for now my goal is 15 more by October for total of 70...I would love to hit this goal by august and recalculate the October goal...
