Let's Do Lunch Community

Did LDL well all day.  Had an early lunch and worked in the lab late.  Was nearly starved and had to do a work dinner. So, we went to this Italian place.  Know where I am going with this?

Anyway, I had the salad, not bad, and breadsticks, and then had ravioli.  Couldn't pass up the slice of cake either.  Wow!  Wiped out.  Any advice? 

Having an egg, banana, coffee, and an apple for breakfast tomorrow.  Bringing my lunch so am have some black bean and corn salad and apple. These sound good for LDL. 

I have got to get this stress eating under control.  For over 4 weeks I have been strict LDL, lost about 12 pounds, and then this.  I'll probably gain 6 tomorrow.  Sighhhhh.

Carbonite, don't beat yourself up too much.  I'll bet we all have strayed from LDL at some point in our struggles to loose the weight.  Important thing is to forgive yourself and get back on track.

Thanks much BettyBoop!  I will get back on the horse this morning.  Wasn't as bad as I thought.  I only plop on 2-3 pounds.  Water weight most likely.  I'll hit extra water intake today.

as you go through today,i'm sure you'll do fine....i went off of ldl when i was away for a weekend and couldn't believe myself that i went right back on with no problems...for the next few days,just be a little more careful than usual about surrounding yourself with  allowable foods and eating them until full....niki

AND,you shouldn't have weighed yourself because it takes a couple of days for our food to metabolize and for you to see a weight gain,which you won't see anyway because you really just ate a normal meal...all you really did was stop the losing process....and you'll go back on today..when i went back on i was afraid that i wouldn't ,but surprised myself that i was able to....you'll see that you will too.............niki   

Everyone has some great advising here.  Thanks much to everyone.  Here is a situation that, if I had taken Rogers advice then I might have avoided it.  First, I went too long between lunch and dinner.  Second, I didn't have any good foods around like fruit(or even some canned fruit with no sugar) or even some Wasa.  Third, I had never been to the restaurant the people from work were at and even a quick look on the menu yielded nothing really eatable.  Third, I think I threw caution to the wind as stress kicked in and my job got the best of me yesterday.
