Image via WikipediaCompany, by its very nature, is a disruption of schedule. I just had a visit from my friend, Omega. Of course, I love having her, but because we're out doing things, meals aren't planned. We usually eat on the go, while we're out and about. This is a problem because restaurants are notorious for over-sized portions, and preparing food with "who knows what."
So I brought a tote bag with me when we went out. In it I put bottled water and fruit. And I snacked on it, so that when we stopped to eat dinner at a restaurant, I was fairly full. I ordered something called a "power salad." This consisted of pieces of chicken mixed in a salad. It looked so good that I was sure I was going to woof down the entire salad.
I didn't. I ate about half and was full. I asked to take home the rest. I was too satisfied to order dessert, which Omega did. It was some kind of vanilla ice cream with bananas and hot caramel sauce. I could see the steam rising up from the sauce. I took a spoon full of it and that really was enough. I wasn't tempted in the least.
That's the secret to not overindulging in restaurants . Eat before you eat. And make sure you eat healthy before going out to eat.
Another benefit was the fact that I had leftovers for lunch. Life is good.
