I stumbled but picked myself right back up

Last night was my mum's birthday so being the dutiful daughter I felt it was important to spoil her rotten and give her everything I could. I asked her what she wanted for dinner and she told me she would love some fried rice.

Now maybe I had deluded myself into thinking the Chinese food couldn't be that bad for you right? It's all meat and veggies. Anywho, I indulged her and went and got some fried rice and chicken chow mein for dinner. I only had a very small serving of rice and two tablespoons of the chow mein but holy mother of god when I went looking for the points values of Chinese food I nearly fell of my damn chair!

So yesterday was a bit of points blow out, my first one in 12 days, and I was feeling pretty crappy about it this morning. However after doing a little more rationalising today though I remembered the very wise words that so many of the beautiful people on the WW forum utter: WEIGHT WATCHERS IS NOT A DIET!!

I will fall down sometimes, sometimes I simply won't pass up that piece of cake or that serving of Chinese food and you know what, that is ok! As long as I have more good days then I have bad and I'm prepared to make up for the points blow up throughout the rest of the week then I'm still on my way to a better, healthier me and that really is the ultimate goal.

I do have a small confession to make though - that Chinese food really didn't taste as good as i remembered, it was very greasy and really not that satisfying - I need to remember that the next time temptation strikes.

So this week I'm aiming to lose 1kg, I'm hoping my little blow out last night won't rattle things too much but I guess I'm just going to have to wait and see.
