Eating out is getting easier

Today I attended an installation banquet and of course I was nervous because I knew that food would be served. I am so... proud of myself. When my salad was served, I took several small bites and chewed slowly. When I began to feel uneasy, I immediately stopped. Once my salad was removed and my entree was served, I did the same thing...tiny bites and chewed slowly. When I began to feel uneasy, I stopped immediately. In the past, I would have tried to get one more bite and ended up having to excuse myself to the restroom. By the time my dessert was served, I was able to take a couple of bites of cheesecake (my favorite) and stop too.

Pre-band...I would have eaten everything and wanted seconds.

I have my walking clothes on...I am drinking some water and when I finish posting, I am going walking.

I want to win this battle....I am determined to win this battle...my quality of life depends on it and my husband and kids are worth it!
