Eating Out Last Night
« on: July 01, 2012, 11:57:26 AM »
Went out last night with family.  We ate at one of my favorite restaurants - Longhorn Steakhouse.  Nothing fancy about it - just good food reasonably priced.  We normally go about once every couple of months followed by either dessert somewhere or the movies.  The difference between what I ate the last time I was there and last night is amazing.  A few months ago it was my standard outing...go to the bar while waiting to be seated.  22 ounce beer.  Get to table and order a coke and my meal which is normally a salad with french dressing, 20 ounce steak, and large baked potato fully loaded.  While waiting I normally have at least 3 or 4 pieces of bread with heavy amount of butter.  With my meal I have at least 2 or 3 large cokes.  After the meal, if we go to the movies I'll have another medium cherry coke, a small popcorn (with a lot of butter....I just ate so not real hungry) and then some sort of candy.  If we don't go to the movies, then I will let my food digest a bit and then go to DQ and order a large peanut butter cup blizzard with extra stuff.  Last night I had unsweetened ice tea, a 6 ounce filet paired with about 6 jumbo shrimp and veggies.  My wife was pleading with me to order more b/c I would be starving after, but I was perfectly content.  Everyone wanted to go to this yogurt place afterward.  I was able to sit there without any desire to join in.  It was actually a little gross to watch some of the people in there filling up their huge cups of low fat yogurt with M&Ms, chocolate syrup or the other 50 toppings available.  Anyway, I was proud of my control.

Hi csmith! :)

Kudos on your progress!!! ;D ;D ;D

Sounds like your former eating-out habits were much like mine were.
A few beers, followed by bread, followed by potatoes or noodles, followed by full-sugar cake, pie, or whatever.

After sugar detox, the "normal" high-carb junk looks and sounds gross. :P
Because after we've removed sugar from our lives, our bodies know that is JUNK!
What you do today is what matters!

Isn't it Great to have self control of those situations?
Eating this way does take away the cravings!
Good for you!
