  2. Haha! This is a great post! I especially agree with the one about the buffet.

    Even though I eat right and healthy, I still do enjoy pigging out at buffets once in a while.

  3. I actually eat the veggies at a buffet now and oddly enough still prefer the buffet because I can control what goes on my plate!
