Why it’s so damn easy to gain weight
Today’s a chill morning… cuppa coffee, tunes, websurfing. While browsing madison.com, I came across the Rhythm Restaurant & Entertainment Guide. Hmm, there’s a section on “Tips for Healthy Dining” (PDF). Okay, that’s something I’m interested in; there are times when you do need or want to go out to eat. Eating most of my meals at restaurants is part of what got me overweight in the first place, so I’m interested in minimizing the diet damage whenever possible. So I click the link, and start reading…
With choices like fettucini alfredo, chocolate decadence and a big juicy cheeseburger on many restaurant menus, eating out healthy can seem like an impossible feat.

Amen. Got that right. Then I get to the bottom of the page, and there’s ads for Pasta Night, Fish Fry, Sunday Brunch, the Smiling Burger, Bottomless Steak Fries. That’s when I realize that the reason the odds feel like they’re stacked against me… is because they are. I’m going to go have some organic carrots now. I can live without eating half a cow for lunch.
