Fried WikiAll things Food, Diet and Weight Related

I avoided cheeseburgers, but I didn’t avoid cheesecake. I avoided french fries, and I overdosed on turkey sandwiches. I’ll bet you were waiting to hear, eh?

I allowed myself two major desserts this week on my vacation. I made compromises with myself and chose healthier choices when I knew I’d be having a treat. I actually stopped and thought about choices. I really wanted the megaburger and fries with the fried onions, and the gooey cheese, and the mushrooms and other good stuff on it. I choose the turkey sandwich on multi-grain bread with melon salad. I made a choice. If I want to allow myself sweets at some point, I was going to have to avoid those burgers and fries. You know what, I enjoyed the turkey just as much.

I opted for turkey sandwiches, steak and salads, and broiled chicken most days and nights. I left Wednesday night of last week, and returned yesterday, which was 9 days later. I had two big time desserts. The big time ones: one sundae, one piece of cheesecake….and I ended up with a stomach ache after the cheesecake, because it was too much. I should have eaten half of it. I would have been just as satisfied, and I’m learning that.

I can eat 1 piece of pizza and feel as satisfied as eating 3 pieces. I can say, no cheese on the sandwich, and I still enjoy my lunch. I can get a different side than french fries and still smile at the end of the meal.

I can get home and not weigh myself…oh wait, that’s not true, I want to weigh myself like crazy! LOL I asked my hubby to hide the scale though, so it’s driving me nuts. I’ll know the results of my choices Tuesday at the trainers.

Also, I walked and walked and walked and walked and walked….it’s Disney World, enough said. My feet were screaming at the end of each day, but I kept going! We also swam twice too.
