]]> I lost my mind a little twice yesterday but I woke up the second time.  First time was with a little mini Almond Joy.  That daggone candy jar again.  More will power was on the way later in the day.

Oh Fast Food, You almost got me, but I won.  Nothing like sitting in the drive through with ice cream on your mind (because anything else would smell like fast food and my boyfriend would know) and having an epiphany.   I realized that I was listening to the old, sick, sad me and that the real me was the one behind the wheel.  I drove away with a smile on my lips and peace in my heart.

What I ate:

  • Grapefruit juice
  • Handful of raw peanuts
  • Bag of baby carrots (my tummy hurt after this.  Ow.  Felt better after I got my salad.)
  • Large Lunch Salad
  • 1 mini Almond Joy
  • 2 raw nut/date balls (not really hungry last night)

I woke up this morning at 200 pounds (down from 202.5 on monday).  Very happy about that.

]]> Within the Health Care Bill that President Obama signed yesterday there is a requirement about calorie counts.  Restaurants will have to include all calorie counts for food sold on their menus. This will include fast food restaurants and dine in restaurants.  I am so happy about this.  It could really change the way people choose what they eat when they are out and about. I think weight loss will occur due to people better understanding how many calories they are packing in each day.

I was in NYC a few weeks ago and I have to tell you I was shocked at some of the calories counts I saw.  You see, they already have this rule in place.  When you look up at the board at a McDonalds or glance at the pastries in the case at Starbucks and you see listings of over 1200 calories for one item or for a value meal staring back at you, you have to really think twice.  You can’t claim that you are a victim of the fast food industry and that they’ve made you fat when the hard evidence of how many calories you consume is right there in your face.

Also, I think that people who frequently eat in groups may have new incentive to cut down on high calorie foods.  If you’re about to order 3000 calories worth of food and your group of friends or your date knows…you might pick a salad.
