What Skinny Chicks Eat At Disneyland

I took my minions (along with my Godson "Natey" Nathan) to Disneyland yesterday on MLK day.  We had a fantastic time! 

As I would purchase drinks, food, & snacks for the kids, I would always notice the thin gals and what they would grab to eat.  Now .. there are plenty of healthy choices at Disney now ... you can buy an orange, apple or banana if you want to spend $2 each (flippin crazy) or hummus w/pretzels, watermelon, grapes and other "healthy alternatives" to the chips, candy, & ice cream but what I noticed EVERY TIME I purchased food was that the skinny chicks would be buying and munching on the big oversized dill pickles.  Yes, the pickle!  Kinda makes sense, doesn't it?  It's crunchy and practically no calories.  So ... there they were ... those thin gals looking all cute in their tight jeans or black yoga pants munching on pickles. 

Then there is me ... eyeing the mickey mouse shaped rice krispy treat dipped in chocolate.  Hummmm ... it's always a good time to start thinking like a thin person.  People have mentioned it on these boards lately.  There really is a reason why a lot of thin people are thin.  They don't eat the crap &/or resist it more often than someone like me who was a formally MO person.  If I want to look like that, I need to make better choices for sure.  Totally makes sense. 

I resisted the rice krispy treat but 2 years ago, I would have gotten 1 for sure.  Again, all more the reason to be prepared when going to places like this. 

I'm going to Disneyland again hopefully in another week or two ... I'll be buying & munching on a big a@@ pickle. 

I have a jar of dill pickle spears in the back of my fridge that I forgot about.  I hope they still have their "crunch"!!!  :)

Good for you Jenn!  I've observed my slim husband for many years and seen the same kind of behavior. Thin people consciously make good choices most of the time. My hubby says things like "the cake looks good but I really don't need it/shouldn't have it right now". WTF?  

Seriously Linda, it is why they are thin, isn't it?

BUT ... I still remember seeing you at the hotel at the OH Conference.  Alison and I were just getting off the elevator when we saw you.  You were munching on a low carb snack looking all cute and tiny as you are.  After we saw you I remembering thinking to myself (not sure if I said anything to Alison) but it was along the lines of ... "That is why Linda looks as great as she does.  She's in maintenance and STILL on track".

You sooooooo rock Linda!!!!  My inspiration!!!! 

Thank you for sharing this,  I think I will get a jar of good pickles today,  :) 

I have a Russian deli nearby that sells the old world type of pickles.  I will pick up a container and think of you.  Hugs.  Great job yesterday.

I hope to be joining you with the pickle-fest today.  Get it gurl!!!

I've missed you on the boards lately.  Hope you are doing well.  Sounds like you are!!!

Great idea!  I'm going to try and start noticing that too...and what they buy at the grocery store.  But I do shop at Whole Foods, and most every one is getting healthy food there, but there is a lot of high fat food to be had.

Yeah, it was so apparent everywhere I saw the little snack shacks at Disneyland! 

I even saw a guy ask his girlfriend if she wanted anything to eat there.  She said, "I really just want a coffee".  It was like 85 degrees at Disneyland yesterday.  Of course that skinny chick wanted a HOT coffee ... figures, lol!!!

Great! Now I have to think about chicks with pickles in their mouths all day long!
