Yeah so what the hell? I look for the veggie trays, so I get my raw vegetables, and I see the fruit tray, so I get my fruits, but damn those cheeseburgers look so tasty....what do i do?

Shrimp!

One should sometimes enjoy themselves while on a diet. As long as you aren't stuffing 5 cheeseburgers down your throat, you should be fine.

One day won't mess up weeks worth of work. Enjoy yourself.

fill up your plate with the fruits and veggies and then only hvae half a cheeseburger. you may find that you'll be too full to eat the whole thing.

Agreed! Moderation is the key. I do eat what I want on special holidays, then watch what I eat the rest of the week. I usually don't gain weight, as long as I go back to watching the next day, and don't cheat. Also, I drink a lot of water too, that seems to help.

It's true. If you don't indulge sometimes (with moderation, of course), then you'll be more likely to fall off the wagon completely in the future.

I messed up big time last weekend, I was at a party and had all the food there, fruit, ceviche, pizza, tacos, chips

but I did only drink water, I was good there

Thanks for the tips ya'll. I didn't have any cheeseburgers at all. I did have one piece of fried fish, some baked beans, a little pasta salad and half a piece of sausage. And oh yeah they had grilled barbequed chicken wings....those were so delicious!

They didn't have a lot of veggies or fruits, but i'll be back on those today. I just had my daily cereal with soy milk. And i'm going to eat my baked fish for lunch. And be sure to drink plenty of water.

So I should be fine. I've lost 6+ pounds these past two weeks, so hopefully that hasn't been jolted.

Yeah, I've been messing up left and right. Someone is grilling just about every weekend, birthday parties, wedding stuff, people just getting together for no reason .... There's been so much going on and my diet is all screwed up now And somehow, I've lost a couple of pounds. I don't get it

you probably are keeping your metabolism going which is why you still losing weight. it's when your metabolism slows down that you start gaining back.

So how did it all go ? Your area is okay ?

Throw a boca burger on next to them...a third of the fat/calories...stay away from the cheese and don't eat 10....

the hurricane is still in full effect. I went to school last night and secured a private study room for myself. I made a little makeshift bed and i set up all of the cat's stuff. There are quite a few of us riding out the storm here. So far, besides a lot of wind and rain, nothing much is going on, which is a good thing.

When i went down to the ICU this morning there were a ton of people there so I'm studying for boards right now. I'm going to go back down there tonight to see if I can be of any use.
