Take out- under control

When it came time to order, the family decided on Chinese take-out.  Not a great option, but one of the better as far as eating out.  After looking over the menu I realized there were no "lite" or "healthy" options, so I went with my instincts and ordered chicken & broccoli with brown rice.  I only ate half and it turned out to be a totally reasonable meal.  

The main challenge was when we went to sit and eat...the fam ordered extra rice, egg rolls, and soup that was set on the table.  Of course they offered everything to me, but I respectfully declined.  It was friggin' hard to do, but I kept telling myself that I am strong and can make healthy decisions.  I'm very pleased with myself :)

What to order?

Ugh.  K's parents are going over to her Aunt and Uncle's house. They're going to order in and I am pretty anxious about it.  What will I order?  Can I figure out what's healthy? And if I do, will I have the strength to resist temptation and make the right choice?  I hope so....

I can do it!

Leftovers for me, please.

K had to work tonight, so it was just me with her family.  Her Mom made fries and burgers, which is NOT conducive to my plan to eat healthy, so I had leftovers from last night.  I didn't mind (since the food was so darn good) and I was actually pretty proud of myself.  The burgers smelled so good and I was definitely tempted, but not to the point where I felt deprived.  I made a good decision and it feels great!
