Ughhh I gave in.

I went with some friends to the Cheesecake Factory last night and instead of listening to "good" angel on my shoulder who was telling me that I should order a salad and just be specific with what I want, I listened to the "bad" one who was saying "eat some bread" and "order pasta" ...and so I did, and it was completely tasteless and awful after the first few bites. I'm thankful I didn't feel nauseous afterwards or anything but I feel sorry for myself and kind of surprised at my lack of control last night, since I've been out to eat previously and had no second thoughts..I haven't had a cooked meal since the beginning of May!!
Well, I'm not totally freaking out at myself..I'm going to use this as a lesson learned, go to the gym, and get right back on eating beautiful and tasty RAW foods!!!!

Good for you! Just take a look at why you did it, but first get back to raw. Alot of times when I went out in the past and went off my raw it was because I didn't prepare myself. I always try to know what I am going to order prior to ordering and rarely ever look at the menu. If I don't know what they have I will just tell the server what I want and usually they can accomdiate. I am cheering you on through this next phase of raw!

thank you, yes I did ask myself what was different about this time..I think I actually gave the menu a good look hoping for something RAW to pop out at me (which of course it didn't, it only sucked me in).

yeah the cheesecake looked good but I've been a vegan long enough for that to be less appealing..thanks for your support guys..today I was back on board :]

I was just wondering if Cheesecake factory had anything that we could eat. I remember seeing those lettuce wraps before I went raw...Anyone know what they serve with the lettuce to wrap up?

-You will always be tempted....unless you don't really desire those things. On the practical side: Make sure to always eat to be full before you go out - so you don't end up sitting some place starving and feel tempted to eat crap. :)

-Good luck and support to you!

I actually saw the lettuce wraps on the appetizer menu and have ordered them before...I should have just ordered that and altered it...it comes with chicken and noodles, and I don't really know what the dipping sauces are made of.
They're salad menu was pretty appalling...I've always had a hard time understanding why people throw meat in a SALAD.
