Tonight is my first foray into eating out as someone who is trying to be health-conscious and lose weight. I know I can't stay in my house and measure out my hummus forever, but I'm not ready to eat at a buffet! It's a hen party for a friend, so it's definitely a special occasion and not just going out to eat for lack of something better to do -- I didn't want to turn her down because she is a new friend and it was very kind of her to invite me.
So what do I eat? My plan is to avoid fried foods and desserts, and to keep my portions small. I'm hoping they have fresh fruit and a decent salad bar. I can fill up on salad and have a small piece of meat or something. Ack -- this is hard!
