My sister has always been the thin one. She's never struggled with her weight. She always looks good. She's a barrel racer and she stays very active taking care of her horses and always on the go.
There's a new Italian restaurant in the small town my sister lives in and she really wanted us to try it out. She eats there several times a week! I scanned the menu before we went and I couldn't find anything with vegetables. I thought surely we could get some meat & veggies. Not on this menu. Dad and I debated if we should go or not. And after much peer pressure we said we would go. Our eating throughout the week was fairly good so we figured we could splurge. We decided we would eat a bunch of salad and then get a pizza to share with the kids. The salad and pizza were both really good. They were fairly large pieces (New York style) of pizza. I had about 1 1/2 pieces and Dad had 3 pieces. We really enjoyed the pizza until we arrived home an hour later. We both barely made it to the bathroom with stomach troubles. We were better after that but just felt really full and bloated all afternoon.
I told my sister about our tummy issues and she said that happened the first time she ate there too. But isn't that a signal from our bodies telling us that this is not good for us? If your stomach feels the urge to get rid of it immediately it surely can't be good for you. I've read plenty of articles about listening to your body and I fully believe my body was trying to tell me something. Don't get me wrong--I'm sure I'll eat it again someday..but not anytime too soon.
