First time eating out....

Well the best thing that you have done is being able to identify what you need to work on!! That is awesome. For me I either pick at my food and my husband eats the rest of my plate and then we get a box to go or you can do a couple of things...1. ask for a box as soon as you get your food or 2. ask them to put 1/2 your meal in a box prior to them serving it to you..that way you never even saw it. Whatever works for you! I am happy for you being able to identify your weakness so early in this "game". It takes a lot of us a long time to identify and then to admit and finally do something about it! Take care! Oh another thing about the foods that don't agree with you..later on you might want to try them again. Things can change and vice versa..just cause you can eat today you might not be able to tomorrow.
