I'm not sure what to do:

Tonight I have a family b-day dinner at the chain restaurant Claim Jumper. I know we're not suppose to eat at chains but it wasn't my call. I'm on day 35P2 and close to my goal so I don't want to blow it tonight. I just checked their menu on line and thought I'd have 1/2 of the filet mignon & grilled asparagus but then I check the calorie count and it's got over 1000 calories (8oz) so even 1/2 if over 500. That's my whole days worth. Should I order it anyway? I couldn't find anything else on the menu that looked doable.

Hi Everyone,
I just signed up here and could really use some help! I am getting sooo discourage and need someone to rein me back in!
I am on my second week of P2 (day 11). Last week went fantastic... I lost 13.6lbs in the first 8 days. Then, day 9 +1.0, day 10 -0.4, day 11 +0.6. I don't know what's going on. I will try to give as much info as I can so that maybe someone can figure out what I'm doing wrong... I've read lots and you are all so helpful!
I have been fighting a nasty head cold all week and some times haven't been able to eat the full 500 cal menu. I am taking 12 drops 3x/day. I tried the Shirataki Noodles this week. Had them at just one meal.
Thank you so much for listening to my babble!

stacey, you could order a salad without dressing or croutons, just a squeeze of lemon. And add a grilled chicken breast to it. Specify what you want in the salad, because even the house salad has stuff you can't eat.

I know taking those bites is harmful, well I only ate the eggs out of the tortilla and threw the rest away. I don't think any amount of hcg is going to fix this, I just have a very high stress job that is busy busy busy, expending lots of energy, if not physical then emotional, so this little bit of food is like a few bites. I barely had time to inhale that few bites of chicken and lettuce for lunch then I ran to an errand while munching the apple. I'll just pretend I'm not eating. I am not hungry at all, except in the morning around 9:30am, just because I have been up since 4:30 or 5am. there is mental stress too, I have a lot of projects to take care of. today at 9:30 I grabbed a few bites of a high fiber english muffin, because I couldn't continue on without something and I wasn't near my food. other than that, I haven't cheated at all today, I was around cookies and donuts, etc. but wasn't tempted. I actually did not have time to eat dinner on Monday night, and was not hungry at all, so maybe that is why I was so tempted with the burrito on Tuesday morning because my stomach was so empty. it was very little, actually. just eggs. I am thinking of trying one of those miracle omelettes in the morning to ease the tense empty feeling I have at 9:30am.
