Oh, my bad.

I guess you can look at the pics in my gallery if you like. But it is true, you can eat out and still make excellent choices. I can't tell you how many waitresses looked at me like I had three heads when I asked for oatmeal with my steak. I have very specific instructions on how to prepare and bring my food.

Small example: I usually have chicken or salmon or steak on bed of healthy greens (unless all they have is iceberg lettuce *sigh* ). I always ALWAYS ask for the dressing (regardless of what type it is) on the side. I dip my knife into the cup of dressing and put just enough on every forkfull that I get the flavor in each mouthful and it moistens the greens if they are dry. I use a fraction of the dressing (unless it's olive oil and balsamic vinegar, but then I don't like if they dump too much on because it can make the greens soggy), eat all my veggies and have my yummy meat. If they have brown rice/yams/oatmeal then I am in HEAVEN.

And yes, this is how I usually eat because this type of food rarely upsets my stomach - ultimately I don't get too fat.
