Unprepared

I definitely realized something when this happened. I felt like an alcoholic in a desert having to choose between thirst and a cold beer. (Not sure where he got the cold beer ????). I'm so scared to cheat because I'm afraid I won't get back on track. Also afraid it will become a habit. That I will justify it the next time and then the next and the next. I didn't realize until that night that I was literally afraid of junk food and afraid of failure. I have already thrown some nuts in my glove compartment.

Recognizing the potential problem is the first step in prevention. Next is preparation. Even if that means making a specific plan for those days you're caught off guard. Chose specific stores to shop from and know what they carry. Only buy those things! It helps to try to plan for the unknown. If you are in a situation to eat off plan, let it go and be more diligent next time. This is about living life not constant restrictions. Add a few more crunches to your workout if you slip up. It's ok as long you staying proactive. Good job on the nuts in your glove box. I try to keep nuts, Protein shake/bar and Jerky. You got this! Its not easy but it's worth it. I look forward to seeing your progress.

I would have eaten something most fast food places have a chicken salad in some form. But to better prep for next time stock up on trail mix beef Jerky nuts even pre mixed Protein Shakes can survive in a trunk for a while just get a cup of ice and your good to go

I'm in Texas too so I get the hot car problem. You might think about Jerky in addition to the nuts. I do perky jerky which is turkey so lean meat and taste good. I ordered a bunch in 1 oz bags from Amazon.
