Chick-Fil-A

Note to self: Check online nutrition data before eating out.
We ended up at Chick-Fil-A today. I had been doing well on plan all day with fruit for breakfast and salad for lunch. I decided to blow the rest of my Flex points at dinner and ordered a regular chick-fil-a sandwich and a shake for dinner. Most fast food shakes are about 10 points so I figured I would be OK. I checked the points online when I got home ( after I’d eaten it ) - 17 points!!! Yikes! It had over 700 calories! I also went with the regular sandwich (9 points) but realized later that the grilled sandwich would have been worth it at only 5 points. Live and learn.
I am still working on my goal of 15 lbs off before my Jamaica trip. The progress hasn’t exactly been quick, but I’m determined to succeed.

HOLY SCHMOLY! I wonder why their shake is so much more.

I can totally sympathize, Zazu! I absolutely love Chick-Fil-A’s regular sandwiches, and their shakes and ice dream are to die for! But unfortunately, they don’t fit in with a “healthy” diet, do they? But you know what? As you said, live and learn. Besides, you did your best and tomorrow is always a new day. So give yourself some leeway on the days you really need it, then hop back on the wagon and determine to do better the next.
I’ve started a blog of my own to chronicle my own struggle with my weight, which seems very similar to yours. Check it out at http://phattypants.blogspot.com/.
