Ode to the Golden Corral

Saturday, November 12, 2011

I avoid all buffets like they are the plague
Otherwise, my thoughts and conscience will nag
On how I have no self-discipline
Refilling my plate again and again!

Then, yesterday, as my tummy rumbled,
Into the Golden Corral, I stumbled
A steakhouse, I thought. I will request
Steamed veggies with a grilled chicken breast

You can imagine my growing dismay
When I discoverd before me an enormous buffet!
But my horror quickly turned to delight
When I saw healthy choices awaiting my bite.

There was broccoli, green beans, veggies galore!
Lean beef, fish fillets and so much more!
I thoroughly enjoyed my delicious meal
Less than 400 calories. What a deal!

By not busting my diet, I raised my morale
I can eat at the buffet at the Golden Corral!

    That is great success and a fun verse to boot! The good choices are there to be made, it's so awesome to actually do it.

    Yes and it's true. I always avoid buffets because I tend to pig out. I had never been to that restaurant and actually thought it was a steakhouse. But I stayed on my diet. Good for me!

    Kudos on being able to avoid temptation and make good choices! We don't have Golden Corral around here.
