Food vs. My Waistline: Week Three

Remember last week when I talked about scare tactics? Well, I actually scared myself out of eating this weekend.

I've been craving Chinese food, at home it's something we would get fairly often. I've lived down here for over a  year and have had it maybe three times. And each time I eat it...I remember why. It's nasty. And apparently no one down south knows what a scorpion bowl is.

Before I go any further, I'll tell you what a scorpion bowl is.

If anyone around Jacksonville knows where to get one. PLEASE let me know!

Okay, back to being scared. We ended up at a Chinese buffet. It was packed. I filled up my plate with some chicken lo mein, chicken wings, crab rangoon (why do they have fried chicken, chicken alfredo and french fries at Chinese places down here?) and headed back to my table. 

Then I did it. I looked around the restaurant. Everyone was huge. Not just fat....but huge. I love buffets, at Cicis or Golden Coral I've never noticed this. But this place...I got scared that someday I could look like this. 

So needless to say, I only had one plate and a glass of water.
