Day 43- Managing a cafeteria menu

Today, I had to figure out how to navigate a cafeteria menu. I was on the road all day without my WW snack pack. I started by doing a "walk about" around the cafeteria. I made a mental note that there were several food areas including a section with pre-packaged salads, a hot sandwich grill, a cold deli bar and a hot plate line with limited low calorie options. I opted for the final area - the fresh salad bar. I made a small green salad and selected a low calorie/fat free Italian dressing. I shared a cup of tuna fish with everyone at the table.

It was not the best lunch BUT it was a learning experience. I learned that successful lifestyle management requires discipline. I have to learn to make the best of "bad" food environments. There is always a solution. SO DO NOT ALLOW TRAVEL OR BUSINESS MEALS to derail your WW progress.

Tip: Always carry your own sip/water bottle.  Whenever possible pack a snack. I like snack size zip locks with walnuts and dried cherries, a cheese wedge or a Special K diet bar.

Challenge: Skip the chips. Skip the fast food. Skip the sweets and skip into a smaller pants size. LOL

Have a VEGGIE GOOD DAY,
