Chick-fil-A Smells like Victory!
I was out running errands today and it was dinner time and everybody was hungry. I knew Chick-fil-A had grilled chicken nuggets (skipped the sauce), but I didn't know they had a "superfood side salad". OMG it was so good. I felt a tiny bit worried about the dried cherries in it at first - 11 g of sugar with the dressing (I didn't think to ask for it on the side this time), but it didn't cause me any problems. (YMMV) That with a diet lemonade (which I saved for later) and I was so happy and full and it felt good to feel like I could eat out someplace, make good choices, and feel good about it too. We ate in, I took my time and wasn't tempted by the fries the kiddo got at all (fries are over-rated anyway)! It was my first time not eating at home since surgery. Plus I have a 2 nuggets and a bite of salad for snack tonight.

A 6 count Chick-fil-a Grilled Nuggets kids meal is my go to meal after the gym. It is 8:00 when I leave there and I know I wouldn't make good choices when I come home. I get the small fruit cup as my side and that is a nice treat since I don't eat fruit every day.

They also have a 4 count grilled nugget box which is perfect for me for a lunch. It will be my go to place when I visit the city. There are none around here. I also have to note that the shop I visited in Mechanicsville, VA had the most polite and professional staff I have ever encountered in a fast food restaurant. And the place was spotless!

Highest weight 245: 7/1/2015, RNY surgery on October 26th. Had multiple complications and follow up surgeries and stayed in hospital for 24 days. Goal weight is 140.
It absolutely is my new favorite place to grab a quick bite. I didn't really ever go before surgery but now it's the only place I want. It's easy to make the right decisions there and is so bariatric surgery friendly.
