Good choices!

I went on an overnight trip to Austin with Tommy and I made some good food choices (Yay me!). I was not perfect on the diet front but I could have done some serious damage and I refrained. Friday night we went to Wendy's and I did have a few of Tommy's fries but I refrained from the Baconator and large french fries! I got the apple walnut salad, took 1/2 of the cheese off and only used 1/3 of the walnuts and 1 thing of dressing. It was good and I felt good with my choices! I was so good I even brought my own cereal for Saturday morning and resisted all the danishes! For lunch we went to Red Robin and I wanted the big old hamburger and bottomless fries really bad. I was really hungry because it was 2 PM, which is never a good thing to be when you go to a restaurant. I used my new iPhone and looked at my app for Dining Out with Jenny Craig. It listed the veggie burger as one of the good choices, of course without the mayo sauce! So that is what I did. I even substituted a salad for the fries and got the sauce on the side. It was good and it filled me up and I felt good with my choices. It is definitely a different feeling leaving a restaurant feeling not hungry versus feeling overstuffed. Feeling overstuffed and guilty is usually the feeling I feel and then I go over and over it in my mind. Beating up myself that I was not better. So, today no mental bullying by myself. It is always hard to really know how a restaurant prepares food and what the real calories are, but I controlled the part I could control and that feels good. That is all that I can do right?
