I try to avoid fast food; but, every now & then it is needed. Some Saturdays I help a friend at her booth at our local flea market. Normally, I only eat one meal a day & that’s around 3pm. On the days that I’m helping her, I start my day early & I get hungry by 10–11 & just can’t wait until 3. I drive by a BoJangles to get there so I stop in to get a Country Ham Biscuit. Since country ham isn’t good for me, I ONLY do it on the Saturdays when I’m helping her & I make sure to eat plenty of veggies for my afternoon meal. Sometimes it’s only once a month…other times it’s once a week. There are NO healthy food places between my house & her booth, so I limit myself to the necessary weekends & don’t do it any other day!!!
Most of my eating out is at a local meat & 3 restaurant where the owner buys his food from local farmers/butchers & it is fresh cooked. He’s lost over 150 pounds since he opened the restaurant, so it makes me feel that his cooking is healthier than most prepackaged restaurants. PLUS, the food there taste a LOT like what my Mom cooked before she passed away. It’s good old Southern home cooking that hugs you on the way down!!!
