- FOOD.
I used to eat out a lot but after my doctor had advised me to lose weight I had to cut down on fried food.
That was particularly had as I used to live on well-done steaks and French fries.
I also had to cut all foods with a high sugar salt or fat content out of my diet.
Being a big eater I would get through all the food I was served up and even manage to rustle up something to eat between the meals.
I had to give up the habit as well.
So now I’m reduced to eating in as I can’t stand the sight of happy people tucking in unhealthy though delicious bacon and pastry.
