I don't know if WW pushes the idea that before you even have food delivered to the table, have 1/2 of it packed to go. You still get to eat with your friends, but you don't have to see so much food staring you in the face... and you get a meal later... like the NEXT day. works out nicely. good luck!
ohhh... btw. hopefully you won't look at my weight and think I'm not like other people on the site... i control food carefully, always have.... and am trying to lose a huge percentage of my tbw... so good luck to both of us
