I LITERALLY just wolfed down an entire Chipotle chicken burrito. If I could’ve fit the entire burrito in my mouth at once, I would have just swallowed it whole. And guess how many points that beast was?? 22!!!!!!!!! 22 points, I have ONE point left for today. Thank goodness for weekly points, but oh my. I can’t believe I let myself eat it. I know it’s not the end of the world, and I still have 24.5 weekly points left, which is actually really good for me. I usually use them all on Monday and then I’m screwed for the rest of the week. I’m just going to have a light dinner tonight, and everything will be fine, right? Plus, I can workout tonight and compensate for some of the points that way as well. Ok, so not as bad as I thought. I can consider this my one splurge for this week. Lunch is hardest for me. It’s usually the one meal where I feel like eating anything and I don’t give it a second thought. Breakfast and dinner I’m really good about.
*SIGH*
I’m stronger than that, I know I am. I know I have it in me to do this thing, and do it right. Should I beat myself up over my Chipotle burrito? Give it to me straight! You won’t hurt my feelings. I just feel that as long as I stay within my points, I’ll be fine. So I need to just leave it at that. I’m washing my hands of this Chipotle debacle. The moment has passed and now I need to focus on the rest of my day, right? Tell me it’ll be ok!! đŸ™‚

I found a website that has a bunch of free Weight Watchers recipes, if you’re interested. The few things I’ve made so far have been good!

Yeah, I think packing my lunch is definitely something I need to start doing more. I always bring healthy things to snack on, and fruits and veggies, but I can’t ever seem to bring something for lunch. Bah….I hate diets. I know I shouldn’t call it a diet either, but it’s just really hard for me to have to think about everything I eat. I’m not good at that, I’m used to shoveling food into my mouth. haha.

hang in there! That’s what those WPA and APs are for!
I agree with planning ahead for breakfast and lunch. I always take my lunch to work and snacks. More control that way!
Then I can save most of my WPA and APs for fun stuff in the evenings and weekends!

the tortilla alone at Chipotle is killer pts wise.
If you don’t want to use a ton of pts next time, try a bol, build it online on their website before you go. They are generally more than 1 meal, and pts friendly depending on what you get. I can get 2-3 meals out of one of their bols. I generally get rice, tons of veggies, guac, beans, corn salsa, and one of the meats.
It has so much flavor, I don’t miss the cheese or the sour cream.
