Question

Idk why I'm worrying so much! But next weekend I'm going out to dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory for my grandma's 90th surprise birthday party! I haven't eaten out since I started ww 5 weeks ago! Do they have healthy low point options? I don't want to mess up my weight loss! Please help! Lol

Eat what you want. Then back at it

Answer 3

I don’t know where you live but I’m both envious and grateful of this spaghetti factory you speak of!  

Answer 4

Remember this is a life time journey. There will be ups and downs. Make mindful decisions, track, and enjoy yourself. If you have made mindful decisions, do not worry Think of this as practice for future eating out occasionally. Good luck.

They are on the WW app. You can figure your menu.  

Answer 6

This is a special day. I would enjoy it but maybe choose a kids meal. Have a wonderful day w/ your grandma!  

Answer 7

Google their menu

Answer 8

They are on the app

Answer 9

They may be able to make you grilled chicken Parmesan with zoodles ! So good

Answer 10

We ate there last week. I ate mostly 0 point foods all day. Then I had the minestrone soup, glass of wine, half my spaghetti (ate the other half the next day) and the spumoni ice cream (1/2). I used my points and a few weeklies but really enjoyed the meal! I stayed within my week’s points a lost a pound . It’s a lifestyle.  

Answer 11

Go and enjoy your family and some delicious food ( totally jealous, LOVE that place). Get back on track next day. Life is about little moments and pleasure, just like this.  

Answer 12

You won't mess up your weight loss by enjoying the foods you love during your weight loss journey. If you're avoiding them all together, you will NOT survive WW maintenance. WW isn't some crappy full of deprivation DIET. It's eating real food and living life in the real world. Moderation and tracking are key.  

Answer 13

EAT 0 PT. OR LOW PT FOODS DURING THE DAY.  

Answer 14

I think they have whole wheat pasta. I usually order the baked chicken with steamed broccoli, but I am not a big pasta eater. They used to have baked spaghetti squash, but have done away with that.  

Answer 15

I had the regular spaghetti with meat sauce, 2 small slices of the bread and the ice cream. Saved points to have that meal and I still lost weight.  

Answer 16

Always have a salad . Ask for chicken breast grilled. Bowl of soup (cup) if cream soup. Look online to their site before you go and check their menu

Answer 17

The brien butter with mazuthra is my favorite too!  

Answer 18

When I have an event or dinner I always exercise that morning and try to only eat zero points food during the day. Then I can enjoy the meal with no regret. I would probably avoid pasta though or have a small side of it.  

Answer 19

Live it up, it’s one day! Then back to business.  

Answer 20

Chicken parm. not the cheese and a great salad with dressing on the side.  

Answer 21

See if they have whole wheat, if not eat less. 5 pts per cup of plain pasta. Large salad dressing on the side. veggies without butter. You can do it. Look it up on the cocmputer

Answer 22

When I have a special night planned I eat a low or no pt breakfast. I have a large bowl of WW vegetable soup for lunch and then I have s small bowl of the soup before I go out This way I'm not starving when I get to the affair. Good luck and enjoy yourself. Remember this is a journey.  

Answer 23

That restaurant is in the app. You can see how many points everything is before you go and plan accordingly. Have fun!  

Answer 24

They are listed in the Restaurant section of the app. Explore to see what you would like and is acceptable in points Don’t lose sight that you could eat 1/2 portions. Save those weeklies - that’s what they are there for Most importantly - Enjoy yourself. This is a big celebration

Answer 25

If you have the app I just went to the bottom under restaurants and typed it in it came up so you can see all the choices

Answer 26

Enjoy celebrating w/her! Start anew the next day

Answer 27

My husband and I eat out at least once a week. I've been on my journey for about a year and a half and am down 103 pounds. If eating Italian, stick with a nice salad and a bowl of minestrone soup. If you want to eat something other than soup and salad, look on the menu for a steak or fish option. You can have 3 oz of steak with veggies. You'll do fine.  

Comments

@amperehour2314 Thank you. For the first time in my life, I keep telling myself, "I am so proud of ME" :)

Answer 28

Enjoy the celebration. Portion control will be your best friend in this situation.  

Answer 29

Go online and see if you can pull up their menu. I do this whenever I go out, that way you can plan. Don’t be afraid to use your weeklies.
