eating out isn't good for weight loss and control of blood sugar.
We have friends that eat out almost every meal. I don't know how they manage it. When we eat out together I try to pay attention to what they order so I can get a clue. One DFriend eats no vegetables ever and orders everything with no sauce. She basically will eat about 3 oz of meat and 4 oz of carb.....dry. Another friend that eats out almost every meal usually orders fried food but he will only eats about 1/2 of the portion. So it amounts to about a half dozen fried pieces of carb and 3 oz of meat. I'm guessing they can eat out every meal because they have become very good at portion control. They seem to start the meal knowing they will only eat a small portion of it. I don't have that self discipline when I eat out.
We went to town with the intention of getting a bed for DGD7 room. Instead, we came home with a desk and dresser. The bed in the store wasn't acceptable to me so they will be bringing in another bed frame in better shape. It should arrive on Monday. All this furniture is being bought from our favorite local charity store. The furniture is top quality that was donated in bulk. I like the combination of supporting our favorite charity, plus getting furniture that will hold up to youngsters, and I'm not going to be concerned about keeping it in perfect condition. I am 10000% sure the desk it will have marker residue on it in various colors. No matter how much DGD7 tries to keep the markers on the paper, the creative process has aut-ohs.
I am sooo very excited about getting my dining room table back. It stays covered since DGD7 draws almost everyday. Now all of DGD7 drawing supplies are being moved to her desk drawers. We have agreed that she will do her creating drawing at her desk. She is really excited because the desk has a light built in so she will have good light to draw.
