You can also be thin and unhealthy, or skinny-fat.

When you go out to eat pick vegetables and fish or chicken, ask that things be baked or broiled and ask for sauces to be left off, or on the side.

I have found I feel really good after going out to eat and having a huge salad with grilled chicken breast - I ask for french and blue cheese on the side and dip my fork tines into the dressing before spearing some salad. Or, at my favorite Mexican restaurant, I have pico de gallo for dressing.

Most restaurants have grilled chicken or fish on the menu. You just have to know how to navigate your way around a menu. And don't feel bad asking the waiter to relay special requests - many people ask to change their orders. If they seem upset by your requests, tell them you have food allergies, or go to a dofferent restaurant - business depends on having customers.

For breakfast menus, many restaurants now have oatmeal or whole grain pancakes, add some scrambled eggs (or egg beaters) and maybe a piece of fruit. Ask about low-sugar or no-sugar syrup, most restaurants have them because of the large number of diabetics in the US.

Get on a regualr exercise program - lots of good ones here!

You are not alone - there are hundreds of people here doing the same things and trying to change their lifestyles.

And order water with your food instead of pop. It'll save you $1.39 plus tax and tip as well.
