Good Intentions Diet Menu

~ Monday ~

Breakfast:
Aspirin and black coffee – It’s Monday!
Lunch:
Didn’t have time to fix a sack lunch. Go out for fast food.  Nibble a few French fries and eat a hot dog. Smell of fast food makes me sick. Drink a 7 up to settle my stomach and get a candy bar out of the office vending machine for energy.
Dinner:
Too tired to cook. Order a pizza from the delivery place
and promise to start dieting tomorrow.

~ Tuesday ~

Breakfast:
Drat it! Overslept – Eat cold leftover pizza in the car on the way to work.
Lunch:
Sick – must be the pizza…
Dinner:
Starving! Need some food FAST! Stop at McBurger’s for chef’s salad, but by the time I get to front of line to place order, salad becomes Quarter Pounder with large fries and coke. (Boy, they sure make those fries smell good!) Er…Make that a diet coke – trying to cut down on calories!

~ Wednesday ~

Breakfast:
Eating too much fast food – skip breakfast, starting DIET today!
Lunch:
Salad bar with diet dressing and water with lemon
Dinner:
Veggie stir fry and black coffee.
Go to bed hungry

~ Thursday ~

Breakfast:
Starving, but determined! Low fat Granola Bar and fruit flavored yogurt – not bad, so I have another.
Lunch:
Weight Watcher’s frozen dinner – Think of all the calories saved!
Dinner:
Eat out: Filet mignon, baked potato, and salad. No sour cream on potato, (After all, I’m on a diet.) Three glasses of wine.  (He ordered a whole bottle and I can’t be impolite, can I?)

~ Friday ~

Breakfast:
Grapefruit juice and 4 aspirin – must be the wine…
Lunch:
“Girl’s Day Out” – We know a great little Italian place.
Lasagna with meat sauce.  (It’s not on the diet, but what the heck, I deserve it after working all week.)
Dinner:
“Two-for-price-of-one” frozen margaritas and free peanuts during Happy Hour. After two margaritas and a bucket of peanuts, I’m not even hungry for dinner!

~ Saturday ~

Breakfast:
Errands to run, things to do – don’t have time to eat!
Lunch:
Ditto, have dinner date for tonight anyhow. Need to be hungry.
I’ll just have a few chocolate chip cookies to keep from starving.
Dinner:
Land and Sea (he’s buying) – Whoops! Need a doggie bag – they give you way too much food here. No dessert, though, still on a diet – I’ll just eat half of his dessert…

~ Sunday ~

Breakfast:
Coffee and Danish.
What the heck, it’s the weekend – another sweet roll, please!
Lunch:
Microwave the leftovers from dinner last night, steak and baked potato with dinner roll. (No point wasting it as expensive as it was.)
Dinner:
Microwave popcorn. Okay, I don’t want to spend all weekend cooking and I’m not very hungry anyhow after eating lunch. If I get hungry later, I’ll just eat some ice cream. I can start my diet next week.

 (See Monday)
