I went to Johnny Rockets tonight. The food was fantastic but the company was better. I went with a couple of my cool workmates and they were telling me about how I shouldn’t leave and how they’re going to miss me.
I think I’ve tried all the big burger joints in Riyadh now and, I have to say, the best is Fudruckers. The milkshake here was delicious, though.
Actually I eat out everyday. I just don’t cook any more. I haven’t for months.
These last couple of days, though, I’ve been eating out in nice restaurants and I’ve eaten so much. Yesterday I ate at a nice Filipino/Thai restaurant restaurant and today I went to Fudruckers.
Yesterday I had this delicious egg friend rice with shrimp with red curry with chicken. We had some green curry beef too. That was really good. I couldn’t finish my food last night. I was so full.
Today we went out for dinner because a guy from work is leaving this weekend and it was a nice send-off for him. At Fudruckers, we shared a couple of appetizer platters and then I had a hhuugggeee south-west burger. I was so full by the end I couldn’t finish my burger. I took pictures that I’ll upload tomorrow.
Time to take control of the diet tomorrow.
My food intake over the last 6 weeks has been shocking. I readily admit it. During Ramadan I was only eating once a day and on some days that felt like a chore too. Since Ramadan has finished the eating once a day thing is mostly true but it’s just that I’m eating a little bit earlier in the day.
Over the last week, though, I’ve been eating horrible junk food everyday.
I don’t have a weighing scale at the moment but more people are saying I’m looking skinny than they ever have before. My face was looking gaunt to me last week and that’s not a good look for anyone. I’ve lost a lot of weight since I got back to Saudi.
These last few days haven’t helped at all. Today and yesterday I went to McDonald’s for dinner. On Friday we ordered KFC. I don’t mean regular meals either. I EAT A LOT :( I usually get two burgers and large fries and a large (diet!!) drink.
I’m really disappointed in the way I’ve been eating so I’ve decided to make a change. I went to the super market today and I bought lots of fruit and I’m going to start eating a whole lot more of that. I’m going to start eating more times a day too. It’s not good enough just binging once on incredibly unhealthy food.
I want to start working out and I think I’ll get back on my squats, push-ups, and sit-ups programme from a few months ago. I want to get back in to shape. Being skinny might look good (at times) but it doesn’t feel good. I want to feel healthy again! I’ve done it so many times before. I can do it again. At least I’m really light right now and don’t need to worry about losing any more weight. I need to gain weight and do it the right way.
Every once in a while, when I have a particularly good week on the weighing scale I like to treat myself to a day of plentiful eating. Today was the first time in a few days/weeks where I ate to my heart’s content.
I’m a meat eater. I love burgers. They’re one of my favourite foods in the world. Yesterday I went to McDonald’s and bought two cheese burgers - no fries, no drink. I ate the bottom two pieces of bread separately and then put the rest of it together to create this… this beautiful creation. Oh my, how sweet it was. A quadruple cheeseburger.
I love rewarding healthy eating and good work out sessions with a being crazily fat and eating food like this. Sure, the amount of hormones and chemicals in this burger will give me cancer but it was worth every bite.
Kate Moss had no idea what she was talking about when she said ‘nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels’.
Bradford is good for one thing. There are so many places to go out and eat at places that are dirt cheap but also have excellent food. The take out places made me the fat guy I used to be. The restaurants keep me coming back again and again. There are a few places that really stand out in Bradford and Leeds.
I had the best steak last night. I know, I know… I’m on a diet. I don’t care though because my diet has been about as close to being perfect as can be over this last month. Regardless, this blog is about eating meat. My relationship with meat is pretty strange. I only eat halal meat. That means my meat has to be blessed in the name of the Lord when the life of the animal is taken and that has to be in a special way too. When I’m at home it is available pretty readily and it’s very easy to find in London too but not many of the restaurants I like to go to serve halal meat.
