Family and Food - They Just Go Together!

I am trying to figure out how I am going to handle all of my meals today. I know there will be lunch out at a restaurant with my mom and sister because we are going shopping. And every girl knows that a day of shopping always involves a nice lunch out.

Then, there will be dinner tonight. We have already made reservations at Savelli's, a nice little Italian restaurant here in K'town. What on Earth am I suppose to order at an Italian restaurant when I am trying to eat healthy? (Notice I didn't say D**t. That is a four letter word and I don't say those kinds of things). I suppose I can do a salad and something with a light red sauce - but definitely stay away from the bread. That will be a hard one for me, though.

I guess the one thing I have in my favor today is that I have started taking some medicine that makes me feel a little nauseous. I'll pray that I don't have much of an appetite this evening.

If anyone has any suggestions for ordering "lite" at an Italian restaurant I would love to hear from you. Please leave me a comment because I know I will be in this situation again. You see, in my family two things are certain:

1. We will be eating out a lot because that's how we roll (literally)
2. We will be eating Italian because we all love it!!!!!! (gee, and I wonder why I need to lose about 40lbs?)
