TerriDoodle 6 Posted September 6, 2007 I was having a bad couple of days, plus I quit smoking(!) 2 wks ago, so I decided I was gonna go stuff myself with Mexican food last night. Sounded and smelled sooooooooooo good. So I sit down with the full intention of ordering the cheesiest fried thing I could find. But then I remembered that I was only 'hurting' myself by giving in to that temptation. I orded beef tacos instead and was just as happy. I somehow managed to NOT eat the chips, which I also couldn't believe! The tacos finally come and boy, am I gonna let them have it! I dig in with gusto, enjoy every bite....and only managed to eat 1-1/2 tacos!! LOL I thought that was pretty funny. So that's how I gorge myself into oblivion these days....on 1-1/2 tacos. Gotta love it! This must be the "progress" of which they speak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JulieNYC 4 Posted September 6, 2007 And best of all, you're not smoking!! So proud of you. Way to go on the 1 1/2 tacos too -- I still can't do that (stop at a reasonable amt of MX). Mexican food is my downfall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madfroglady 0 Posted September 6, 2007 I know what you mean. I stuffed my self at Breakfast this morning by eating an entire banana. Silliness. I can't wait to get off mushies and try some MX. Great job on the smoking issue: you are a brave and fabulous person! frog. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stinaNYC 0 Posted September 6, 2007 Terry...LOL! As I was reading your post, I was thinking about my own Mexican "adventure" just two weeks ago. There I was, recovering from a flu and STARVING because I hadn't eaten very much during my illness. We go to a Mexican joint and I'm all ready to dive into a Chile Relleno platter (stuffed with 3 cheeses and chicken), rice and beans...the whole works! What I ended up with was a strawberry margarita, a cup of black bean Soup and some guacamole! So much for my Big Mexican Gorgefest! LOL! I do have to admit...as much as I love my new body and my healthier take on food...part of me misses the days of the 3-item Mexican platter, followed by the fried ice cream. Then I look at my toes (my TOES!) and I let the thought go... Congrats on your experience! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I look at my toes (my TOES!) and I let the thought go... Isn't that the truth!!! You hit the nail on the head. I miss certain things but all in all I am nothing but grateful!! 10# away from goal. OMG, you must be soooooo happy!!! Major congrats to you, my friend. Way To Go!!!

Darragha 0 Posted September 7, 2007 I read the title of this thread and immediately knew it was a "success story" as to a confession of being naughty. Congrats on not eating your way through a Mexican restaurant. I sooooo look forward to that day! Darragha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kacee 3 Posted September 8, 2007 I can relate! I went to Carrabas a while back...had saved up ALL day to gorge by not eating anything. Ordered this wonderful chicken dinner. Four bites and it was doggie bag city! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TerriDoodle 6 Posted September 8, 2007 LOL Kacee - I can get out of Carrabba's for $5 these days.... I order a cup of either Sausage/Lentil or chicken Soup. If I'm really feeling evil, I'll have an italian salad, too!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TerriBarri 0 Posted September 8, 2007 This is so funny. I had mexican food last night. 2 beers to start (sipped very slowly) had 2 tacos, a couple small spoons of chara Beans, no rice and only a few chips. I feel like a pig. I can't wait to eat even less. :whoo: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TerriBarri 0 Posted September 8, 2007 Hey Kacee, I noticed that you had your surgery in Houston with Dr. Spivak. Was that at True Results? I also noticed that you have already had 3 fills. I had my 2nd one in mid July but have not had another one. What gives? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
