I am desperate for a margarita but I honestly can't see how I can fit it in my diet. I have flirted with the idea of using Splenda as my sweetner but am not sure. Help. It was a really shitty day at work and (waaaaahhhhh!!!!) I need a drink!!!!!!!!!!!
 
But the salt is the 2nd best part!!!!!!

I will go hit the liquor store and see what I can come up with.

(It is a good thing I am not in Louisiana or I would have stopped in one of those drive-thru places on the way home from work and ruined my diet totally.)

Personally, I'd skip the whole lo cal idea and just indulge in one really good margarita. You can get back on track with your diet tomorrow.

If your day at work was that bad, just pound the tequila in shots.

TB4p

These are wise words.

Or maybe you could go for a screw driver instead? That's almost healthy!
 
While a screwdriver sounds scrumptious, I am on a low carb diet. That would be one of the worst classic drinks I could choose.

I don't do tequila shots anymore. Had a bad experience once. Ruined it for me. (mostly-LOL.)
 
Summery via phone: Somethings where not meant to be a diet drink. Case in point...Margaritas.
 
Just for you, MorgaineLaFay, I have opted to go easy on the salt. Perhaps my ankles won't be so swollen and I will LOOL less fat. HAHAHAHHAHAHA

Thanks for the replies everyone. I am about ot go relax in front of the tube.
 
You should have gone with Stoli Raspberri and club soda with a twist of fresh lime. Refreshing with a hint of sweet, and the same amount of calories in a shot of alcohol.
 
Surprizingly enough, I did buy some rasbery vodka last night to take with me tonight. It was an impulse buy though...I had my heart on the tequila base.
Very slight hangover this am.

I did give in to the munchies last night and consumed my lunches for two days at work that I made up Sunday night. They were both well within my diet though so I am assuming it is not blown too bad. The end of the week weigh in will tell though.

What kind of diet are you on?
 
I think it would be tough.

Make it and drink it with reckless abandon. You can always diet later.

Tonight is a time to celebrate, besides, you won't lose any weight by tonight. :)

And

I found a use for those lime-leftovers. I threw them in the rinse water for my dogs' nasty-stinky rug. It now smells wonderful (to me--can't speak for the dogs) and the house smells good too.
