woah.. hazmat/firefighter and you are fat?!?!
well, I am hazmat and I am a bit chunky meself.
I stopped drinking soft drinks recently, and eat humongo salads for dinner and occasionally for lunch. I use these little things name d"salad spritzers" something like one calorie per spray. Use about 3 sprays each of two flavors.
No cheese, meat, or crutons in these salds either
Actually, being a hazmat guy yourself, you can probably empathasize with me on this one: the nature of the job lends itself to some downright poor eating habits at times. When you are on a spill for friggin 36 hours, salads do not cut it.. or can ya find one. SOmetimes the double burger w/fries and a coke are what you need to keep going, or at least it helps somewhat (and lots of Rockstars and nicotine)
I *should* cut back on the beers...
