Two ideas we hold dear to our hearts
are: if it's free take it and buying in bulk is cheaper. Portions
are ballooning in every eatery and so is the American waistline.
Just because your dinner plate arrives with a two pound potato
or enough pasta to feed three people doesn't mean you should eat
it.
Super size it? No way! It costs you more
in money and calories. Imagine slicing off a king cut of
prime rib at home -- you'd never do it. Why? Because, you don'
t need it. Marketing schemes are meant to control you and make
money. Question every offer before going along with the con.
When someone offers you a cookie, a candy
or a free snack, ask your body if it wants it. Don't take it just
to be polite. Weight control is serious business, rules of etiquette
do not apply. If you wouldn't pay for it, don't take it. It's
not worth what it really costs you.
