A couple of WOWs!

Even though I have lost over 80lb since October I still do not see the full picture when it comes to how I look and what I have lost and how I have changed. I got a bit of perspective yesterday though.

1 st WOW. For a Mother's day treat, hubby took me to Chili's for dinner. I asked for nutritional info and got the run around a bit. Looking over the info, no wonder why. Most of their meals are more than 1200 calories. What an eye opener!

I ended up ordering the Trio Fajitas which came out to about 650 calories and 58g of protein. I got through 1 fajita and was D U N! (having left overs for lunch today)

2 nd WOW. I always used to hate going to Chili's because I didnt fit very well in the booths. I thought Chili's was just way too uncomfortable. Well, I slid into the booth and had about a foot or more of room to spare. I asked my hubby if the booths were bigger and he says, nope! you are smaller!. I was kind of shocked that I was that big! I never thought I was THAT big. My mental image was always of a thin person. This was kind of a 2 for 1 wow, WOW I was that big and WOW I fit now! :)

Those are GREAT WOW's! I hear ya on the nutritional info, it's shocking to me how unhealthy something is that you think would be okay. The booth thing is even cooler though! That must have been a real eye-opener. Keep up the fantastic work!

Those are some awesome Wow's!! I know what you mean about the booths- I am still surprised by how much room I have now!

Keep up the great work!

Congrats Crystal... great wows..

Isnt it suprising what we used to eat compared to now.. not thinking what we ate was too bad..

I am so happy for you about the booth... I remember the first time I sid into one and fit.. I looked to see if it was a moveable table and someone had slid it away form me.. nope attached table and I fit.. It really made me want to stick to my plan and not eat the wrong thing because I felt so great about fitting in the booth... and yes looking at the space there is now is unbelievabe that we could not fit before..

So glad your mother's day was full of wows.. what a great day..

huggs..
