A salad one night a week, fasting another day of the week, has helped me lose considerable weight. Brutus might be concerned about it now, but will be glad when he wakes up 2 lbs. lighter in the morning. Besides, it builds character. :^)
I fix a big salad for dinner a few times a week. There is always evidence in the kitchen in the morning (no matter what dinner was) that husband has had a snack or two.
Salad is great if fixed right – plenty cold chicken cut up on top (or Turkey) – loaded with all the topping. Tomato, cheeses, boiled egg, bell pepper, Iceberg lettuce. Bottle favorite salad dressing/pepper/salt. Gallon sweet ice tea. Followed by bowl favorite ice cream over chocolate cake. Loves my salad on weekends. Thanks Honey. Hold the bacon bits and croutons. For amateurs and squirrels.
A bigger bowl with a bit more greens wouldn’t hurt. It does look pitiful, but probably healthy. The problem with too small a dinner is that most people will end up eating a ton of empty calories later on.

A small salad followed by a bowl of ice cream and some cereal should do it. Maybe a handful of chips.

Clearly, they both could use a little dieting, or type 2 diabetes might be in their future. Then, there troubles might really begin.

That’s a side salad, not dinner salad.

Gladys decided to diet Brutus. Which means she decided BOTH of you are dieting.
