My dilemma

I love having lunch with friends.  Its one of my favorite things to do.  Today was one of those days where we were going to lunch.  Usually I am okay because I can just go online, look at the website, and choose the dish that is lower in calories and somewhat healthy- because let's face it, even the "healthy" food at restaurants are not that healthy-and I'm okay.  Today we went to a mom and pop restaurant.  That means, no menu/nutrition info online.  That means that on menus they never list everything that comes with it, or you have to look through the entire room to find it.  I was pretty optimistic thinking that surely I would find something that would be okay for me to eat.  I decided to get the Italian Veggie Delight.  I could take the cheese off, and all that would be left is the veggies and italian dressing.  I thought that if they did not list chips, then they must not give you them, which I was happy for, and I ordered a fruit bowl as a side.  I was feeling pretty good until I got my plate and saw that half of it was full of Ruffles (that's a chip type right?  I forgot...), and my sandwich was toasted.  I could feel the grease from the butter on the Sandwich.  Do you see the dilemma?  It was awful!  I did not know what to do.  I paid 10 bucks, and I HATE wasting food (the frugal person coming out in me), so I ate the sandwich.  I ate a few chips (I forgot how fatty chips taste, they were good, but I could tell they were going to hurt me).  I had some of the cheese on it.  I ate the fruit (the healthiest part of the meal).  And even though I had fun with my friends, my tummy is quite upset with me.  I hate not knowing what my meal is going to be made with when I order it!  I should have asked.  This is why I don't eat out often- not just because its unhealthy, but because my tummy does not like the results of said eating out.  I totally want some cake, or ice cream, or both (seriously going through sugar withdrawls right now), but I can't because I said I wouldn't.  If I do good today, does that mean I can have some tomorrow?  Ha.  I will be proud if I make it through today without snatching a bite.  I'm going to though.  I will survive.  Just got to remember, day by day.  Day by day.  Wish me luck, and hopefully my tummy will calm down a little bit...
