Instead, my coworkers decided that today was to be "Cheap Mexican" day. (our coined phrase for the day we all go eat at a local Mexican restaurant where no entrees are over $5!! And it's all homemade WONDERFUL food).
At first I was nervous because Mexican food for me usually equals BINGE!

Instead I won a little victory. I had a chicken taco salad with no guac, no sour cream, and no cheese. It was basically chicken, lettuce, pico de gallo, salsa, tomatoes, and onion. I used the salsa as my "wet sauce" and did not eat the shell like I usually do. It was amazing and good and I don't feel like I "blew it".

Victory!

Whooohooo!!!!

I have to tell you that this is one of the hardest things for me. When I get put in social setting, I always think "What the hell? Why not? Everyone else is eating, I have no choice" And that is how I initially fall off the wagon..EEKS!

Way to go Medusa! Victory fo sure!!! And being a latina, I can never pass up good Mexican food!
