The mall is almost unavoidable during the holidays and something about all that running around and waiting in lines that makes me hungry. What's worse? Not only am I hungry but I also know there is a place where food is so easily accessible. A place that reminds me of the fast-food holy land: The Food Court. Don't worry, we can get through this.
One idea is to skip dessert shops, like Mrs. Fields, Cinnabon, and Nestles, altogether. They are just too tempting, especially when you are craving something sweet. If you absolutely need something sweet then head to a candy store and get some dark chocolate with a high cocoa content. Even better? Bring some from home in your purse. If I still can't convince you to stay away from Dairy Queen, then go with the vanilla soft serve (small). It has about 140 calories and 4.5 grams of fat — not too bad.

DQ! Oh no now it's going to be in my head ALL day
1That is quite the food court in that picture. I'd be much more tempted there than I am choosing between T-Bell, Wendy's and China Wok.
2Are you kidding or is it really true? Do you really have malls with only fast food restaurants in it??
3The Nestle Toll House stand is my weakness
The only way I can resist one of their cookies is to go to a mall that doesn't have one of these in the food court.
4one godiva truffle and i'm happy!
5Id say eat before I go to the mall so Im not tempted to eat anything sweet, and avoid the temptation by avoiding those shops!!
6Ellabella...luckily, in my mall we have a real restaurant with a salad bar, so that's where I always go!
7Also, you can usually find something in a food court that's healthy...a lot of places have side salads...just make sure you ask for fat free of low-cal dressing. That said, it's so hard not to go get a yummy hamburger or chinese food!
