Chile's - a restaurant that cares about its customers!

I am thrilled to tell you that Chile's provides full nutritional disclosure! Every item on the menu is covered, complete with calorie content, total fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, protein, total fiber and sodium. This restaurant is a conscientious eater's dream. The information is readily available on the web site and easy to find. Just click on menu, then on nutrition. You can print out the extensive two-page list of items and decide ahead of time what you wish to eat. No excuses, just information! Kudos to Chile's on making informed choice available to their customers. This is the type of restaurant we should all be patronizing. And if we overindulge at Chile's, it's no one's fault but our own. That is the way it should be. Don't be shy...tell all your family and friends that Chile's is a good place to eat...and tell them why.

Every obese person has a weight loss fantasy, because everyone wants a magic bullet, a pill, an instant fix. I was no different than any other morbidly obese person who wanted to lose weight the easy way. I imagined many highly creative scenarios to rid myself of the excess poundage. But no matter how much I begged, I couldn’t persuade my doctor to wire my jaws shut for 6 months. I could not talk him into whole-body fat removal...the ultimate fantasy where you count back from 100 and when you wake up all the fat is gone. I used to water walk in the backyard pool at night (so no one could see me) and gaze up at the night sky, waiting to be kidnapped by aliens who needed human body fat for some nefarious purpose and would inevitably return me to earth after the "fat harvest" thin and beautiful! It finally occurred to me that if I spent as much time doing something about it as I did fantasizing that it would just go away, I might actually achieve a modicum of success. Needless to say, the aliens never landed in my backyard! What are your weight loss fantasies? Jump in and share them if you would like!
