Take today for instance, I didn’t pack a lunch for work because of a 5 month old needing to be fed and changed (she is so adorable…take a look) and because I was creating my blog last night and ran out of hours in my day. Back to my point, though, today’s lunch, which I did end up purchasing from work, was surprisingly tasty. I ordered off of the “Lite Side” of the menu. I ate a turkey sandwich on wheat bread with peppers, onions, and mushrooms, served with a slice of reduced fat cheese and a salad (well, a pile of lettuce with tomatoes on top). It tasted better than I thought, ‘well this dieting stuff really can be appetizing.’ and then I understood why.
GREASE. LARD. BUTTER.
Call it what you will, regardless of its nick-name of choice it was there. Dark droplets of fat were left behind from my sandwich made to order from the “lite side” of the menu. And I had to stop and think…
You know. Just when I am beginning to get my shit together (mind you this is only day 2, so I truly am in the beginning stages of this life-long change) I get smacked in the face with extra lard. If I really wanted to I could have asked for extra butter to be added to the bread, or better yet could have ordered the cheeseburger I saw spewing grease from the grill, but no, I tried….I did. I tried to be good and it just tasted too good to be true. (Literally).
Word to the wise..plan ahead and don’t order from the “lite side.” Pack it from home so you know what the hell you are eating….

Hey! I saw those dresses....I think the 3rd one would actually look pretty and flattering on you, Kris. The others seem more like prom dresses, though, don't you think? I don't know....
