Good morning gang, gang, gang? (hears the echo) 
Where is everyone?
I missed my walk yesterday and did have a small piece of angel food cake with berries and SF choc sauce on Father's Day so I better make up for it.
B - greek yogurt, local strawberries
S - boiled egg
L - 2 chicken skewers
S - shrimp & sauce
D - 1/2 smoked pork chop, broccoli
S - 1/2 protein shake
I eat in restaurants in Toronto all the time. Don't be afraid to make adjustments to the food, i.e., no potatoes just veggies or not candied pecans in the salad. Salad Dressing on the side. Just be prepared to bring food home with you. I can never finish what's on my plate.
I also look at the appetizers. Sometimes I just order from the starter or appetizer menu. Smoked salmon and a small salad or grilled calamari, shrimp ****tail etc.
Good Luck!

There are good chicken BBQ places. Ask for no sauce, and add your own hot sauce if so inclined. Also Nandos has unbreaded chicken. You can go to most places. Just choose a protein (manage any sauce), choose a non-starchy veg for your side (broccoli, peppers, asparagus etc). Steak, seafood, chicken, it's all good.

I am not familiar with Toronto restaurants but you can usually always find something bariatric friendly anywhere you go. Just skip the carb side, ask for sauce on the side, you can find protein anywhere.
Have a good weekend!

I have taken the orientation and my first appointment with the psychiatrist is in august. I'm prepared for a long wait but now that I've made the decision to do it i'm wishing it would just happen. I guess its good to start making changes now and prepare for whats coming.
