So, ok. I knew I was going out to dinner w/ girlfriends last night so decided to have the 5:1 plan. I ate all 5 medimeals before going out as we were not leaving until 6:30. So far so good. I am driving to be designated driver since no alcohol allowed. Ok, so far so good. I decided due to my stomach ache last time I went out to have the simplest salad on the menu. So far so good.

The food comes. I am reminding myself constantly to eat slowly. So far so good. 2 bites of lettuce, about 3 bites of chicken. Eat, drink water, eat drink water. Then it happened!

"oh my Gosh - is that thing MOVING!" This the scream of my friend across the table.

Now, I know I have a snails pace metabolism and I know I have been praying to eat slowly like a snail - but did the Medifast gods HAVE to send a visual reminder to me???? You guessed it - right there crawling out of my salad greens (luckily on the FAR side of the plate from where I was chewing - came a snail! 3" long - shell about the size of a half dollar!!!

Ok, you can imagine the rest. We laughed until I thought I would die. The manager, tons of waiters, and other interested people all came over and were so apologetic. They were great about it. The entire table had a free meal and they sent us home w/ cheesecake in boxes for our families. I have not had one snitch

So, I did not do well on my mediplan yesterday as I did not get the alloted amts of lean/green in, but I think you can understand that my appetite was shot! Friends, be careful what you pray for - it may show up in living color!

p.s. to protect the name of the establishment we love I will not divulge where we were.

p.p.s. We named it "Iris" after the IRS since it was tax day!

OMG!!! That is too funny Donna!!! Whatever diet faerie you have lookin' over your shoulder, send her my way! If I had someone making sure snails crawled out of my dinner every so often, I would NEVER have gained the weight in the first place!

Congrats on snubbing the cheesecake!!!
