WALKING OUT NEVER FELT SO GOOD!!

It's rare that Matt and I are both home during the day so we decided to go out on a lunch date. Fun!! We usually like going to Atlanta Bread Company because their meals are quick and usually pretty healthy - as long as you can stay away from the cookie counter - however their parking lot was packed at lunch time so we decided to go elsewhere.

There's a new restaurant that opened up in town and we decided to go there. On the outside it looked pretty friendly and innocent but the inside told a different story. It was literally a meat market! The decor was stark white with red accents, large signs screaming out orders and directions, the front door led you like cattle right to the ordering counter and the kitchen was open to the entire room so you could see burgers sizzling on the grills and fries soaking in hot oil. The dining area was packed with people eating unhealthy foods...the fries were literally dripping with grease and the hamburgers were oozing out of the buns. And the smell of grease and fat made me feel sick to my stomach!

In fact, I heard a customer wish another customer "Happy Heart Attack!". No kidding!

Normally I care too much about what other people think. It crossed my mind that if we left the restaurant, what would people think? Would they think we were too good for that place? Would they wonder what turned us off? But in this instance I didn't care what anyone thought about us! It just felt so good step out of the ordering line and walk out of that restaurant! In fact, I hope more people do because it was seriously one of the unhealthiest restaurants I've ever visited.

So if you find yourself stuck in an unhealthy restaurant and you're afraid to leave, don't be afraid! Run out of there as quick as you can. It will be the best decision you could make for your body, your health and your life.
