Ok, kinda silly...but a bunch of ladies and I went walking together. 2mile walk..They all wanted to do lunch out after. I was unprepared, but ok, I'll go. I haven't gone out to eat since surgery. Have to try it at some point. Looked at menu..eek. not really anything on my kinda list. So I choose the Buffalo chicken salad with salad dressing on the side. I surprised myself, I only ate my correct size portion, I used myfitnesspal app to be sure calorie count was fine and I hadn't over carbed it. I didn't drink before or after like I am supposed to. I ate slowly and did not over eat. And best of all I did not resort to my old bad ways. No overstuffing myself, ordering everything on the menu or eating the most unhealthy food there... And I enjoyed my lunch out with friends. I can survive the real world! I can keep in control of my eating...I feel happy and in control. Now eating out is NOT going to be often in my life. Sticking to the program. Today was a treat...but not an out of control treat! Ok...what's the next adventure!

You did great! I eat out a lot and stick to my plan. I have found there is always something I can order, modify if necessary, and take leftovers home.

When I eat out, I cannot eat much. I have lots of leftovers, even when ordering appetizers. Our restaurants really do put way too much on our plates.

Always too much. Fortunately I have an 11yr old boy who is happy to eat leftovers. I had enough leftovers for 2 meals for him! No wonder it's easy to gain weight with that much food!
