Eating Out
I’m finding it hard to eat well when I choose to eat out. There are usually plenty of healthy choices that are available to me almost anywhere I go. But if I’m out someplace and there is better tasting food to be had, it’s rare that I’ll make the healthy choice. And it’s strange because I know while I’m eating my unhealthy meal that I’m going to feel guilty about it later and be upset that I didn’t eat better, but I do it anyway.
Really, I find that I’m happiest when I eat in and eat well. At home, I can stuff myself with lots and lots of vegetables and feel good knowing that I’m satiated and that I did it in a non-caloric, nutrient rich manner. At the very least if I don’t have fresh produce, I can grab some pieces of fruit and a bowl of cereal and have a meal that’s under 500 calories and do it on the cheap. I can never seem to get that satiated feeling when eating out though. Not unless I want to have tons of calories to go with it. And where does one go to get a heaping plate of fresh vegetables anyway? I can only think of one place like that to go to around here, and I’ve already been there three times this week. :P
