I ask every week and hope that you always have a positive response. A friend said to me once that being alive is such a positive as all other options are a bit limiting, and that is so true...so again I hope you are doing fantastically well and have a great weekend planned.

 

I have been in America this week and had a great time, one of my work colleagues was commenting about how you struggle in the US to eat healthy food and how the portion sizes were out of control.

 

Now I have to say I agree with the portion sizes, they were very very large, and the old me would definitely have eaten the lot as I learnt a behaviour as a child to always 'clear my plate' but the new me has stopped doing that. I now choose to eat what I fancy and not eat what someone else puts on my plate. I had a meal in a fish restaurant and I think the waiter thought I didn't like it because I left about half of it, but I just explained I was actually full and it was lovely! Next time I will remember to order one between two of us and ask for two sets of knives and forks.

 

In terms of eating healthily then it isn't true that you can't eat healthily. I am not denying that a lot of the menu items are full of fat and calories but there are healthy choices. I remember honeymooning in Florida and putting on ten pounds in fourteen days, when I got home I blamed their menu's but to be honest I wasn't looking for healthy options to start with...
