We had a potluck at my office for Halloween and I made it through rather well I think!]

One of my little oddities is that I cannot stack food on top of each other (touching at all is a whole different, and long, story), lol, so that solves one problem with portion control .

My victory is that I loaded up up my plate with salad first, that forced everything else to have to fit around the salad on the plate.

I left feeling full and with a satisfied tummy, and proud that I didn't overload on high calorie foods!!

Good job! I don't like my food to touch either.

LOL, I'm not a food stacker or food toucher either. However, I just tell myself I'll get "that later" and "this later" using another plate. But whatever -- LOL

Congrats on maintaining control around the food festivities!! Good job!

Congrats on resisting the temptations! It's a good reminder to us all that we can participate in celebrations with food without feeling deprived.

WTG!!

What an awesome strategy! It's great to have these reminders as we head into a season of parties and potlucks that we can do them and stay on plan if we plan for it!

Thanks everyone! I am staying away from the potluck leftovers and eating what I brought in for lunch today.

I'm mighty proud of myself
