All You Can Eat . . . Really

I had the opportunity to spend some quality time with my dad and youngest son today at a local "All You Can Eat" establishment. Which raised the question should you ever eat "All That You Can Eat"? My answer is a simple HELL NO!

Speaking from past experience, there was a time not too long ago when I was all about the "All You Can Eat" scene, but since I have been on my weight loss kick I think I have definitely changed my opinion that's for sure. During our outing I was witness to what I can only described as a display of "Human Parade Floats". There were so many enormous people that even I felt skinny. While it was a great ego boost it was very disconcerting. I mean damn there was a woman who actually had a "Fat Beard". that's right . . . you heard me . . . a Beard Made of FAT! There were also a lot of people that were in clothes that were literally busting at the seams. They were wearing clothing that was being stretched beyond it capabilities. This was a scary sight to say the least.

This establishment was definitely geared towards the "Obese Eating Machines". There were multiple selections of Cuisines available. There was Italian, Chinese, Grilled Food, Okie Food, and lets not forget the enormous desert section. There was also a huge salad section that was by far the least visited area in the entire establishment. To give you an idea how ridiculous the desert area was they had a chocolate fountain with various fruits and items that you could skewer and drench with chocolate. That's right they took a healthy item like fruit and turned it into a potential for a diabetic coma. Lets not forget that if there wasn't a cake or pie or pudding that didn't turn you into an instant diabetic there was always the cotton candy station where they would make you a huge wad of spun sugar that was sure to require a double shot of insulin.

My diet that I have been on since January that has shed 53 pounds from my once "Enormous Fat Ass", is one where I count carbs. This was out the question in a place like this, because there were so many carbohydrates to choose from. There were breads, potatoes of all kinds, rice, pasta and lets not forget the Fucking Cotton Candy! While I had my share of carbohydrates I did manage to avoid the draw of the pink insulation of death.

I can safely say that I will probably only visit this place for breakfast in the future. the simple reason for this statement is because the low carb lifestyle is better served with breakfast foods like eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese and any other meat the breakfast wizards can cook up. While I could have stuck with the meat section today . . . I simply didn't have that much self control . . . Plus this was a celebration of my fathers and my birthdays which are a day apart. While I feel an enormous amount of guilt for indulging in bad eating habits today, it will never be as enormous as the huge ass eating machines I witnessed.

So if you are in the mood to feel better about your weight then I recommend taking a trip to the Golden Corral in Modesto. I believe the name says it all. The name seems to suggest that the building contains huge bovines and by witnessing the people that were there today I would say it's not just suggested but a warning as what to expect once inside . . . Damn! So until we meet again just remember it's not okay to Eat All You Can Eat!!!
