Sigh. Here it is again, Valentine’s Day has made its arrival. Damn that diaper wearing cherub who has nothing to do all year but fly around shooting his poisoned arrows into the hearts of the pathetic and feeble. (Can you detect that I find folly in Valentine’s Day?). So it is very likely that your beloved will take you out for the obligatory meal that does not include a super size option or a pick up window.
Already you are salivating like Pavlov’s pup because you have been waiting for this day since January 1st, when you vowed that you would become a convert to a healthy lifestyle and a sensible way of eating. The cream sauced covered dishes are floating in your head like the objects you see in the balloon above the head of a cartoon character that has just gotten bonged on the head with a heavy object, most likely an anvil. But in the back of your head, like a piece of shredded wheat caught in between your teeth, (annoying but not enough to spend all day concerned over) you are a tad bit concerned with the progress or the lack there of that you have made so far this year in your diet.
The Diet Diva’s advise should you choose to accept it? Go out and enjoy your Valentine’s meal. Order what you like but remember to eat only half of what is on your plate. When the tuxedoed waiter (if you are lucky enough to go to this class of a restaurant) places your plate in front of you, immediately ask him for a take away container. Of course this may cause him to look at you like you have just grown the snake filled head of Medusa and have him whispering to the bus boys and size 2 hostess at the front entrance who looks like she never gets to take home any leftovers, but who gives a rat’s ass what they think?
My point is, if I shut up long enough to make it, is that you don’t have to forgo social functions or spend all your time eating lettuce leaves and washing it down with purified H2O, you can still enjoy yourself but do it sensibly, and besides, taking home the leftovers mean that you won’t be wondering what you will have for lunch the next day. Just image how green-eyed and inquisitive your co-workers will be when you whip out this fancy smanchy leftover meal for lunch instead of the normal dried up microwaved cardboard meal you normally chow down on at lunch time.
