aahhh....FREAK OUT!

Well it is Monday.

I have decided that I need to come clean about my full fledged MELT DOWN I had last night.

First of all, we all have melt downs, but last night's was pretty epic if I do say so myself!

So, I had a surprise visit from my childhood best friend Saturday into Sunday ( was amazing!). Sunday afternoon I needed to take her back to her family's house in order for her to catch her flight back to Atlanta. We woke up and decided that we would eat my house rather than going out, so I made myself a lil' seasoned chicken wrap with hummus and Tzaziki on my new favorite sandwich bread

We then drove down toward the King of Prussia area and snagged ourselves some $0.99 iced coffee from Dunkin on the way. After I said my goodbyes, I headed on over to my friends house to do some hello's, and also make a quick stop at Trader Joe's ( the review on my awesome finds to follow).


Devon and I decided to grab lunch at Saladworks. I had a create your own salad with chicken, bacon, blue cheese, craisins, cucumbers, onion, and fat free balsamic vinaigrette. Delicious and only 6 points!!

We then made our way to Trader Joe's, did some shopping and then we decided to visit our friend at the Knights of Columbus( Catholic private club, hilarious that I was there but I digress). I decided to splurge on the way and have a Reese's Heart for 5 points. 

We then made the TERRIBLE decision to go to the casino, at 9.45pm. Well I had fun, but then it hit me: I WAS STARVING. 

On the way back, nothing was open but WaWa. So we had to stop there. 

and here is where my melt down occurred:

THERE WAS NOTHING I WANTED TO EAT THAT WAS GOING TO BE A GOOD DECISION. 


I ranted, I raved, I created my own hoagie about 5 times, and finally I decided on something. I got a 4 inch whole wheat hoagie with Chicken, american cheese, sauteed and raw onions, and lettuce. 

But I didn't want it. There was a salad that sounded great- minus the fact that there was 30 grams of fat in the salad. 

Then it dawned on me:

 I made the best decision I could given how hungry I was and the circumstances. I made healthy choices. Today, I calculated how many points the hoagie was, and it was 9 points. My normal Italian Shorti would have been 19 points. 

In short, I need to calm the FUCK down and be glad that I made a healthy decision, in a situation where I could have easily just said Eff it all and just eaten whatever I wanted to.
