    we went to a mexican place for dinner...

    and I didn't even TOUCH the chips bowl!!! part of me feels that it was hard - yet at the same time, it was SO easy!

    And the ENTIRE time it sat there on the table. My fiance had a few chips but I didn't even literally TOUCH any of them whatsoever.

    I ordered a chicken taco salad and told them to "hold" the taco bowl and to just put it on a plate.

    My only fear was the sauce as it didn't list a sauce on the menu - but I left a LOT of the sauce on the plate.

    It consisted of:
    onions
    green peppers
    tomatoes
    lettuce
    chicken
    guacamole
    sour cream (which I only had a few bites of, as I left most of this too)

    but this WAS a real test of me to NOT touch the chips/salsa - and I passed with absolute FLYING colors!!!

    also, i didn't even think about getting a beer OR a margarita. iced tea with lemon for me!

          Great job all of you

          You have proved that it is possible to stick to plan when eating at a Mexican restaurant

          Keep up the good work!!

            *sigh*....I miss the chips....that is my downfall, if there is to be one. I can live without chocolate and cookies....but chips and salsa....that's my yum yum.

            Congrats to you,

            Arms: 14

            Almost 49 year old female and mom of six!

            First Time: 1/00 - lost 15# until got oopsy'd by #6....

            Now I feel like I have to - I know I am having trouble catching my breath and I am so uncomfortable.

            I need to do this not just for me but for my family. And that scares me.

              GOOD GIRLS! chips and salsa were/are? my downfall too...

              I use a lot of salsa and green chili at home, and have salsa (or louisiana hot sauce) and sour cream on pork rinds instead of chips. So try that if you haven't already, "nomorefoodbaby" and BTW, 4 inches lost on your waist is fantastic!

              Keriann is gonna make goal for her wedding, I know it! Wish I had done that before mine Of course I'm not sure I believed I'd really get married until I was doing it.

                Kellen,

                hahaha - it IS a year away - but sometimes i still feel like that - I still have to stop and think, "omg, i AM getting married!!!"

                I'm gonna be 30 this year yet i have friends my age who've been married now for 5, 6, 7 years or friends that are 5 years younger than me who've already been married for 2 or 3 - and it's like "finally, it's MY time!"

                but anyways - asides from the health aspects of why I'm doing this - that is the ONE day in my life when I am GOING TO BE THIN!!!!!

                  OH! I didn't notice the 2010... thinking oh heck yeah, she'll lose 18 pounds by June. Well, darling I didn't get married till I was 46. (almost our two year anniversary, and I'm still in shock sometimes, lol.) So as far as I'm concerned, you are an early bloomer. Congrats!

                    I am going to make a confession....I have never bought a pork rind in my LIFE!

                    What do they ....taste like?

                      I was just married this past Oct, and I as well did not believe it until it was true. While I was still an amazingly hot bride *wink* I could have been hotter. But, the wedding was planning in 6 months and I was just too busy to put myself first...My only true regret was not being able to do the sexy professional photo session to give my groom as his wedding gift, so....he will get it as a b-day present instead (if I am happy by April), if not it will just be a "just cause I love you" gift when I am happy with my bod. Best of luck in getting into your sexy little wedding dress next June!

                        Way to go Kerriann!!! The chips are what I use to like the most before I changed my lifestyle.

                        Nomorefoodbaby, the pork rinds are good. I like the hot ones the best. Although, I like to dip the plain pork rinds in some cream cheese and hot sauce warmed in the microwave. Yum, Yum!

                          Thanks for the idea!!

                          I know one thing is that I HAVE tried on a FEW dresses (and have pics from that night) - and one i LOVED but it was a size 18.

                          I'm normally a size 14 in jeans (and i know wedding dresses are evil in sizing...) - but I SOOOO want to be in a size 12 wedding dress (what an 8 in "real life"?) and i totally want to try on a "mermaid" wedding dress...the kind that is very formfitting and flows out at the knees - so we shall see!!!!

                            Keriann -- from experience let me give you some advise....try one as many dresses as you can - even ones you might not think are your style - you might just be surprised. The ones you really like take a picture of. Don't make a decision the 1st time out because you need time to really think about this -- it's a huge decision, expense and hopefully the only time you do this.

                            I tried on a dress I thought was absolutely the most beautiful dress in the world - I looked at myself in the mirror and thought I looked beautiful.....when I saw the picture I almost cried - the dress didn't do a thing to flatter me AND I looked terrible. Without the picture I might have fooled myself and spent way too much money in the process! Remember - TAKE PICTURES....LOL even if they are cell phone pics - take pictures!!

                              oh believe me, I have been. I actually tried one on that i LOVE from the pictures taken (other than the fact that i don't like the size...) and i loved in the mirror too - but again, i just want to be much thinner...

                              but this dress that i tried on - TOTALLY not something I'd have tried on normally - it's TOTALLY "Disney Princess / Ballerina" - which I am NOT - i've always been a total tomboy but when i put the dress on i just wanted to jump up and down in it and play like i was 5 years old. I LOVED it! but again, there are a few other styles i want to try on once i lose more weight. specifically the mermaid style one - but if that doesn't work then i already know i LOVE that other dress. so we shall see... :P
