Off the Wagon

I fell of the wagon big time yesterday at the aptly named The Habit. The Habit is a delicious burger place that I use to frequent on regular basis until I decided to get healthy. So here it is yesterday I had a Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Onion Rings and Ranch Dressing for a whopping 1,420 Calories, no joke one meal 1,420 Calories. So what went wrong you ask? First I let myself get hungry, I had a banana before boot camp but I didn’t pack a post workout meal and I had no healthy snacks at work. Second I chose to go to out to lunch where healthy options are hard find. Lastly I let the faulty logic of “Well I’m already having something bad might as well throw in the onion rings and ranch for 620 Calories”

Sadly it wasn’t even that enjoyable, I ate everything and afterwards I felt like I was gonna hurl. My co-worker Jon, who’s favorite places for lunch include Wing Stop and Panda Express, noticed that I was eating fatty food and made an off the cuff comment that I would “be back to eating Wing Stop” with him anyday now. Jon’s comment made me stop and think about my faulty logic while ordering food, and realize one bad choice does not beget another bad choice.

I can’t recall how many times I’ve let one bad choice explode into a never ending shame spiral. Well, I’m not going to let that happen again. I’m already back on the wagon and I won’t be going to Wing Stop anytime soon thank-you very much!
