Is There Really Bad Food?

I’ll just go ahead and say “yes” to this one. I think there are bad foods. There are foods that I will not eat. When I was 305 pounds, I didn’t feel that any food was bad. If I wanted to eat an entire half gallon carton of full-fat ice cream with Oreos sprinkled in it [...]

Subway Gift Card Giveaway!

You all know that I don’t do a lot of giveaways on my site, nor do I visit fast food restaurants very often. Almost never in fact. But when the people at Subway contacted me and asked if I’d be interested in trying their new healthy breakfast sandwiches and giving away THREE $10.00 gift certificates [...]

Food That Moves

It took me a long time to learn that food that is really good for me doesn’t move easily. What am I talking about?
Fast food, of course.
Here’s the scenario: You’re in your car alone. The CD is playing, the air conditioning is on, the traffic isn’t too annoying. Did I mention that you are alone? [...]

Restaurant Lessons I Should Know

Last night John and I went out to eat in a rather late celebration of our anniversary. We rarely go out to eat, so this was a special occasion. We went to one of the nicer restaurants here in town, one that we generally go to just for our anniversary or other special event. In [...]

Winning the Drive Thru Wars

I’ve written before about my former life as a secret drive-thru queen. I told you how, as if on auto pilot, my car would veer into any open drive-thru window. I also confessed how I would sometimes even order two meals so the cashier wouldn’t think I was going to eat all that food by [...]

Value Sized or Dangerously Sized?

When I was a big girl I loved to eat huge amounts of food. Chip bags – the whole thing. Cookie trays – both. Cracker sleeves – two. I always thought “the more food the better.” This was especially true when dining at a restaurant or driving thru their window. Why have a small size [...]

Is Fast Food Ever Okay?

Can you eat fast food and still lose weight? Or, if you are just working on eating healthy food to maintain a certain weight, can you still eat fast food?
Well, I think that depends on how you are looking at fast food. When I was morbidly obese, fast food was my friend. I loved swinging [...]

Free Food That Isn’t Free

When is free food not free? When the free food adds inches to your waistline and pounds to your scale. When the free food has enough calories in it to qualify as a separate meal, and when instead of being free, it binds you further into your own downward spiral of unhappiness with your weight.
What [...]

Restaurant Buffets are Fun for Heavy People

Buffet restaurants are fabulous for the heavy person! I loved buffet restaurants when I was obese. Given the choice between my favorite Mexican restaurant, which was great, or Ryan’s buffet restaurant, I’d choose Ryan’s almost without fail. The anticipation of unlimited, uncensored food was like heaven to me. Driving to the restaurant I’d think about [...]
