Bad Choices... Damn!

Okay so my husband wanted to have hamburgers tonight for dinner. I decided that we could have mini hamburgers and that I would just eat the patty with some cheese. I looked at the protein content and decided that would be fine. I made the hamburgers and then sat down to calculate and journal what I was about to eat… and then I saw it… 330 calories and 26 grams of fat for 1 patty (not including the cheese on it)!!! I had originally planned that I would eat two patties with cheese but after I realized how many calories it was going to be I decided that I would only eat one. Then I ate it… I was so disappointed. It wasn’t very good and it was not enough to make me full. I should have stopped after the first bite but I didn’t. I was hoping that it would fill me up and that I wouldn’t care if I wasn’t hungry anymore. Unfortunately I was not full but I refused to eat another one. I decided that I would make myself something else. I made a salmon patty with egg white, chives and a little bread crumb. It was great and the same size as the hamburger patty. It was 161 calories and only 3 grams of fat… I could have had 2 of those for what my one not so great hamburger patty had. Anyway I told my husband next time he wants burgers I’m just going to have a salmon patty and save myself all the trauma. Anyway my point in posting this is… if you “think” maybe I shouldn’t have this… YOU SHOULDN’T!! Listen to your inner self and even if you take a bite, or two, or three it’s not too late to stop and make a better decision.
Good Luck!
