Food Log: Days 22 Through 24

Day 22

I had an unavoidable lunch meeting and it would have been awkward to bring my own food. The meeting would be held at a Salvadorean restaurant. I love Spanish food and I am also of the firm belief that it is like pizza, hamburgers and breakfast cuisine in that it is almost never a bad experience. Even when it's not very good, it's still pretty good. This lunch would be an exception to that rule. Ugghhh.

I ordered steak and eggs with beans and rice. (Carne juevos?)  Actually, the food was so-so with a few high points but the entire restaurant, including the Men's room, was filthy. Of course I was hungry, a side effect of this low calorie diet, so I cleaned my plate.

Later that night I was treated to spaghetti and meat balls. Way off diet. Good.

Day 23  I was unable to get back on-diet due mostly to poor planning on my part. I ate Chicken ala king with mashed potatoes for dinner. Way off-diet so I tried to keep portions small.

Day 24 More poor planning and I ended up eating leftovers from refrigerator. Nothing low fat or low calorie there.

According to the scales, I put on 3 lb. in 3 days. The dreaded rebound effect. In the past I gained 18 pounds in 38 days after coming off this diet. I plan to recommit to diet as well as figure out a moderated diet when this low calorie thing is discontinued.
