I hate eating healthy...

in August 2011 Moms

Every Wednesday I have class from 11a-1pm, so I get out of school starving and always stop at Wendy's.

Today, as I pulled up the angel on my shoulder said "Have a salad! It's good for you!", and the devil on my other shoulder said "No, no...you are CRAVING hamburgers. Have a #1 combo with cheese and everything on it!"

When it came to be my turn to put in my order, I stuttered and then sadly said "I will take a small side salad and a grilled chicken sandwich. Plain...no sauce."

As I ate the sandwich, it tasted like sandpaper to me because I was still envisioning biting into a big, juicy burger.

(sigh) Dieting sucks.

Do you do this, too? Do you fumble over what to order when going out to eat or to fast food?

    Well...I am going out Saturday night for my birthday, so maybe I will have a carb/fat overload then. The margaritas alone will take care of that. ;)

    I will admit that ever once in a blue moon I will walk down to the local burger joint with LO and get a friend chicken sandwich....and then hide all evidence. Hubby is doing P90X for prep for the Navy, and so I am cooking all him meals and such, so its all low carb, high protein. I am so tired of chicken breast and salads. I miss pasta. The only good thing is the weight loss, but it sucks.

    Yup.  It sucks.  Good work, though!  Now you can definitely eat whatever and drink whatever for your birthday.

    Can I just say that I'm slightly (ok completely) jealous that you are dieting?  I was on WW when I got pregnant this time around (surprise pregnancy), and while I am thrilled about the new baby, I was bummed that I had to quit WW.  I had lost 12+lbs (of the 70+ I want to lose) and was finally feeling better about myself and my body.  Now I get to see the scale hitting numbers that I swore I would never see again. 

    So just know that some one is as jealous of your salad and bland chicken sandwich as you are of their cheeseburger.

    I do this too. And just so you know, it's inspirational to hear you actually got the salad. I usually always stutter and then end up getting what I shouldn't! So, no you're not alone in the "dieting sucks" world.

    See though...with you being pregnant that is a different situation. You have to eat more calories for the baby, and sometimes have to give in to those late-night cravings. Enjoy yourself, diet later! ;)

    This isn't the "norm" for me. I usually give in. But...I have my high school reunion coming up, and want to look hot. That is my main motivation. Well-- that and the fact my son wants me to swim with this weekend at a public pool.

    so awesome you ordered the right thing, I go through this debate daily espcially with DH who can eat anything and still not gain a pound, he wants cheesesteaks and pizza, my two favs and I am stuck with my salad or grilled chicken. Still trying to lose weight from LO and having no luck, because I totally would have chosen the burger! And I dont even eat red meat LOL

    I feel your pain.  I am on WW and had to stop by McDonalds because I had to run an errand at lunch (I forgot to leave the baby her milk at daycare ugh).  I ended up with a southern style chicken sandwich and didn't eat the bun.  The chicken alone was 7 points and the bun would have been another 4!  I did also cave and get a sweet tea and small french fries.  Ugh, the total meal was close to 20 points, thats half of my daily allowance!

    Note: McDonalds does have a really nice nutrition fact website and I enjoyed playing around with it and adding/deleting ingredients to the items to see how it affected the nutrition.

    I do it every now and again too. I usually try to order a grilled chicken sandwich without fries. I can never order the salads from fast food places.

    I did that too!! What I really wanted: baked tater with cheese and broccoli and nuggets. What I got: a grilled chicken salad...no dressing. I was surprised at how good the chicken salad at Wendy's was though. I've had their salads before and they were ew. This one was good.

    Their salads are pretty good. I want to try the berry chicken salad. That looks awesome!

    I hear you - But I say you deserve a treat every now and then, so if you eat healthy all week, I say there's no harm in getting a juicy burger when you get out of school :)
