Ok. So on Saturday night we had a dinner snafu. So we ended up getting fast food. I got something smaller than what I used to and it fit in to my calories so I didn't think it was a big deal. However, I felt so gross after eating it. It wasn't a "I'm a failure" gross, but more of a "my tummy does not like this" gross. The meal used to be something that I wouldn't be satisfied with - I'd want more. Now, that was more than enough. I felt very, very full. And then my stomach didn't like the onion rings and I'm pretty sure that it didn't enjoy the burger either. I'm totally not beating myself up for it either, but I just really have realized it isn't good enough to waste all those calories on. This is not saying I won't ever have it again - I know there will be times I am in a pinch and it's what is there. However, its just not good to me. The food isn't good enough to feel like that. However, I think Mexican is... I think my addiction to Mexican food will never die. To me, this demonstrates that I will make some sacrifices but a burger and fries really isn't one of those any more. To me, this is huge. My total weakness used to be fast food. I could have it anytime, it would be hard to go to get something for someone else with out having something myself. Now I am pretty confident that I could go pick up something for someone else and just be happy with having something I can find that is just as yummy but better for me at home.
It's amazing what a little time and really listening to your own wants and needs can do!
