Saturday night is girls night out at PF Changs. That is my favorite place to eat and I just looked at their menu.
![]() Do I eat it and let it be my cheat meal for the first time in 2 weeks? Or do I eat before I go, drink some hot tea and ask for stir fried veggies (b/c they happen to have the lowest calories)? It's really gonna suck being there and not be able to eat what I want...and it's been so long since I've been there. ![]() |

I would definitely eat a little meal before going, then have maybe half portions and ask for the other half to be put in a doggy bag and not brought to the table. Definitely do not deprive yourself or you may just dig right in and realize what you have done til you are done.

I would eat a healthy and filling snack (like an apple) on the way and order your favorite. Then, you wouldn't be able to eat the whole thing. You could always split something with a friend or even order from the kids menu if available for a smallere portion. Have fun and don't deprive yourself or you will crave it even more!! Everything is okay in moderation.

My favorite meal has a total of 1890 calories and 76 grams of fat!!
![]() ![]() I'm so mad at my friend for choosing that place after I told her there was nothign I could eat there. I just think it's inconsiderate. The people who aren't watching their weight just don't understand. It almost makes me not want to go, but then I would miss out on great company. *sigh* I think I will just take my own food. I sound so grumpy today...I'm pms'ing. ![]() |

Wow on the calories, even half of it would be crazy! Sorry, it was a thought. Do they have a soup or appetizer that would work for you?

It's Chinese food, but it's really good, fresh Chinese food. It's a trendy, expensive place to eat. That's why I haven't been in awhile.
![]() They do have a wonton soup that looks really yummy. I forgot what the calories were on that. The lettuce wraps are an appetizer and they have stuff like egg rolls that are high in calories as well. ![]() |

We actually talked about eating out at my meeting last week and they suggested ordering a couple appetizers instead of a meal. I would have the wonton soup, lettuce wraps and maybe a couple of egg or spring rolls. HTH

I hope you don't mind, but I was reading some of your journal earlier. You seem very focused and motivated to me. It really sounds like you deserve one night out with the girls and I don't think it will wreck your plan or motivation. I think you really have it together and are in this for the long haul. I wish some of your motivation would rub off.

Thank you, Brandy.
