So, I'm sitting at a table in my hotel. I've just had a few sausages, I'm waiting for a few more, and I've had my eggs and coffee. I know what to stay away from. I'm still, according to calipers, at about 14% body fat. The heavy people are giving me strange looks. How can he eat like that they're thinking. I know that's what they're thinking. That used to be me. They don't understand it because they're doing the right thing. First, the bowl of cereal, because that's part of a 'good breakfast'. Then, the main course, more grain. Yep, it's the bagel with cream cheese not butter because cream cheese has half the calories of butter. They don't seem to consider that a quarter cup of cream cheese must be more calories than 2 tablespoons of butter. (I love butter. It's a staple.) And the coffee. Mine's black. Theirs? Surely the hazelnut creamer about 3 tbsp is good (hazelnut is good for you so you add it for that good fat that comes from nuts) and then, of course, an artificial sweetener to keep the calories in check. I could cry, or scream, but I could get kicked out of the hotel. Oh, what the he!! It's checkout time anyway.
