There is a restaurant very close to my home that I frequent. The place has very good food and, believe it or not, is a very healthy eatery. So obviously, it's very trendy and very Los Angeles and if it weren't for the good food and the location, I'd never go there. They have great chicken, great healthy salads*. Basically, it would be very easy to go in there and eat a low caloric, low fat meal.
But, I'm fat and when I go there I somehow manage to order the most fattening thing on the menu (This chicken wrap with mayo, cheese, avocado, dressing and more cheese...and for fun, pasta on the side that's basically in a mayo sauce). I'm still in shock. I still don't know how I do this. I think I have super powers that make everything I eat at least 1,000 calories and about 50 grams of fat more than what it originally was.
*I don't know about you, but I can eat a salad that's over 5,000 calories very easily

Lindsey and I discussed how this year, 2006, was going to be THE year of losing weight.
its only January 6, did you forget your resolution!!
I suffer from the same phenomenon. It's amazing how much a little cheese and sour cream can add to something as mild as vegetarian chili.
Hey anonymous, of course they forgot their resolutions. What the hell else are you supposed to do with a resolution? KEEP it? BWAHAHAHAHA. It must be incredibly dull and lonely over there in Perfectville.
To FloraDoraGirl:
Do you think these girls enjoy comments like that? You're basically telling them that you like skinny food and I don't think they like people who like skinny food.
How great it must be to not crave french fries...you're so amazing! Wow!
Anonymous honey, you need to find a way to control that anger.
Haa haa.. thats amazing... i think everyone does that though! I know i do!! Where is the love in the comments??? We should be supportive of each other, not tearing each other down!!! ALL GIRLS UNITE!!!! and guys too!!
Ha! Yes, I do that as well and love to eat all the cheese, mayo, butter, hollandaise sauce I can get. I usually ask for it on the side as well as on the order.
Yes I eat healthy, what could be healthier than Asparagus smothered in Hollandaise sauce and have a nice, rare juicy steak that you can dip into the Hollandaise as well. Come on....repeat after me......fat food is delicious.
hello fatty mcgees! Long time observorer, first time commenter :D
haha...
It's funny what we sometimes think is healthy, actually can turn into a heart-attack-on-a-plate. I go through the same thing and while I *think* i am eating healthy, I'm actually doing worse than if I just ate a (small) bag of chips!
Maybe next time you go, try something different! Make it a mental mind-game or something, to try something new each time. Do they have a pamphlet with calories or something that indicates a healthier choice?
Perhaps try that, and - if you are really digging the chicken wrap, maybe make it at home, using lower-fat alternatives!
Good luck with it all!
P.S. Do you think you can maybe sign the entries with whoever writes it? Sometimes I wonder if you're just one person with split personality, haha or what! For a poor canadian girl with a fried-from-school brain, it just helps a bit, hehe.... take 'er easy!
I'm fat and I like sushi too! Sushi is only as healthy as you make it. Some sushi has a good amount of mayo. It also depends on if you use soy sauce and if so, how much. Also, you can overeat when going out for sushi like you can eating anything else. The only downside is that sushi can be kind of expensive.
Of course, so can a delicious steak and potatoes...
if i really wanted to, a 5000 cal salad would be gone in a heartbeat!
I jumped on the diet blog bandwagon, I'll be back to read up on yours!
