As I’ve mentioned previously, my office provides lunch every day.  Unfortunately, it’s usually fast food such as McDonalds, KFC, or pizza.  These are food I normally would not eat because when I do eat out, it’s usually at regular restaurants, not fast food chains.

However, because it’s available, convenient, and free, I have been eating the lunches here for about two years now.  Is this a factor in my fat gain? Most definitely.

Lunch today, provided by the office, will be Costco hot dogs and Costco Polish dogs. I didn’t bring my lunch today, I’m starving, and I will probably have my usual 2 dogs with mustard and ketchup.

I didn’t want to, but I just looked up the calorie count for those dogs. It visually seems like a pretty small meal, but guess what…
