My dilemma
I love having lunch with friends. Its one of my favorite things to do. Today was one of those days where we were going to lunch. Usually I am okay because I can just go online, look at the website, and choose the dish that is lower in calories and somewhat healthy- because let's face it, even the "healthy" food at restaurants are not that healthy-and I'm okay. Today we went to a mom and pop restaurant. That means, no menu/nutrition info online. That means that on menus they never list everything that comes with it, or you have to look through the entire room to find it. I was pretty optimistic thinking that surely I would find something that would be okay for me to eat. I decided to get the Italian Veggie Delight. I could take the cheese off, and all that would be left is the veggies and italian dressing. I thought that if they did not list chips, then they must not give you them, which I was happy for, and I ordered a fruit bowl as a side. I was feeling pretty good until I got my plate and saw that half of it was full of Ruffles (that's a chip type right? I forgot...), and my sandwich was toasted. I could feel the grease from the butter on the Sandwich. Do you see the dilemma? It was awful! I did not know what to do. I paid 10 bucks, and I HATE wasting food (the frugal person coming out in me), so I ate the sandwich. I ate a few chips (I forgot how fatty chips taste, they were good, but I could tell they were going to hurt me). I had some of the cheese on it. I ate the fruit (the healthiest part of the meal). And even though I had fun with my friends, my tummy is quite upset with me. I hate not knowing what my meal is going to be made with when I order it! I should have asked. This is why I don't eat out often- not just because its unhealthy, but because my tummy does not like the results of said eating out. I totally want some cake, or ice cream, or both (seriously going through sugar withdrawls right now), but I can't because I said I wouldn't. If I do good today, does that mean I can have some tomorrow? Ha. I will be proud if I make it through today without snatching a bite. I'm going to though. I will survive. Just got to remember, day by day. Day by day. Wish me luck, and hopefully my tummy will calm down a little bit...
