Cutting Back...."The New (but really old) lingo for the DIET

I always say (probably not my own words - I may have heard this somewhere) that the best day to start a diet is tomorrow.
I actually cut back prior to the Eating barrage of Thanksgiving and Christmas. I must say I did pretty good. Then my wife and I went on a cruise to Mexico and I "killed it." But we walked a lot. We took the stairs as opposed to the elevator (at least 95% of the time). I came home feeling good. But since then, my WADEOBICS plan has been left to wonder. My not eating from the overpriced snack machine at the office took a terrible turn yesterday.
So it is time to once again CUT BACK.
It makes me think. What would be my last meal if I ever truly went on the "D" word.......
The possibilities are endless (and I will probably miss some good meals on the list below).
Should I...
Fly to New York and go to the restaurant Rain?
Should I drive to Hahnville and pig out on Daddy's Fried Chicken buffet?
Should I go back to Mexico and eat fajitas until I puke at Three Amigos?
Should I go to Broussards and eat the Louisiana Bouillabaisse (TWICE) (plus my normal appetizers)?
Should I go to Moe's Pizza on the west bank?
Should I go to Vizards on Magazine Street and eat appetizers that are truly large enough for your entree?
Should I go to Deanies (not the Seafood one) in the CBD and have a two meal - last meal (Awesome breakfast and lunch - home cookin')?
Should I go to Houston's (on St. Charles) and eat 5 servings of the grilled artichokes (then eat my meal)?
Should I go to Taco Bell and eat 4 Big Box meals and drink Baja Mountain Dew?
Should I fly to Jamaica and eat jerk chicken and rice (that sounds nice).
Should I go back on a cruise and eat all day (the top it off with a cream cheese-salmon-bagel at midnight)?
Should I walk the streets of New York and get a canoli from every street vendor I pass?
Should I go to one of the many (preferably the one on 58th St. in NYC) CHURRASCARIA restaurants around the US?
Or should I just eat pancakes?
Pancake?
Who wants a pancake,
Sweet and piping hot?
Good little Grace looks up and says,
"I'll take the one on top."
Who else wants a pancake,
fresh off the griddle?
Terrible Theresa smiles and says,
"I'll take the one in the middle." ......Shel Silverstein
Well, the list could go on and on, but I need to go to the dentist.

One decision, sadly, has been taken outta your hands: Rain is no more.

Ok... now I'm hungry. But I really AM cutting back, so I will go home and bake me some chicken breasts and pretend it's a big bell box meal!!!
