I was at a buffet for lunch today. I don't normally do them, but it was part of a lunch/dinner show at a local theater.

Oh boy. All that food. I could take as much as I wanted. I'm so not used to that. At home, I cook just enough food for my meal, and there isn't any extra.

I had nothing to measure it with...didn't really know the carb/protein ratios of most of it. So, I guessed to the best of my ability and stayed within my food plan. I stayed abstinent by not putting trigger foods on my plate. I got back to my table, and my stress level went down because I wasn't surrounded by a sea of food anymore--I just had my plate. It felt great to not have to make the decision about going back for seconds.

Marny, anyone who can get through a buffet without binging has got will-power coming out of their ying-yang! You go, girl!!

Thanks Ellis. :-) It felt pretty good to watch other folks go back for seconds, and to be completely content to stay in my seat.

Marny,
You've got enough will power for all of us here today! At the point I'm at, I would have filled my plate and kept on filling

You guys are so great!

You know, I really don't feel like the will power is mine. I never had it before--so I really think that it's from God and working the steps.
