Im on Day 9 of Phase 1 and doing everything in my power to stay on program and....


Tonite I took my kids to Wendy's. No problem, I figure I will get one of those nice salads with chicken that they have. Waited in line (1 register person - 7 billion people on line) for at least 20 minutes. My turn comes to order and I learn there are NO SALADS LEFT!! No salads at all!!!! Now Im angry AND hungry and I dont know what to do. There is nothing on the menu I can have, and I dont feel like taking buns off cheeseburgers and pretending thats on program.

So I order 5 nuggets. I was going to order nothing at all but I was afraid watching my kids chomp on fries would kill me and I would cave and eat them. So I ate the nuggets, not a single fry, which is amazing for me, and came home and ate some almonds in the hope of slowing the absorption of the bread on the nuggets.

How bad was this?
