SHardy's Journal, 13 April 2013

I don't like going out to eat or eating over somebody's house. When this happens my stress level goes through the roof. All I can thing about before going is "What will I eat?" If I am invited to someones house, I feel like it would be rude for me to ask them what they will be serving. If I go out to eat, unless I pick the place, it is not a pleasant experience for me. My first thought is always salad, grilled/broiled, or low fat soup. If I know where we are going before we go, I will look online and see if they have a menu with nutritional information. There is just so much thought I have to put into what I am going to eat, resulting in that is all I can think about until I know what is on the menu. We have 2 dinner invitations coming up - 1 is tonight and the other is tomorrow after church. The first is at a restaurant, but I don't know where. The one tomorrow is over someones house. I say all this to say that I am determined to get my food addiction under control and lose this excess weight. Some may think that I am obsessed, and I have to say at this point that I AM OBSESSED!!!

I'm with you - I would prefer to go out to eat though. Since you can at least choose what you eat. I will ask for things to be left off - no cheese or bacon and dressing on the side. I always get a salad and really try to choose a main entree that has extra veggies and less starch!! Good luck!!

Most people are obsessed at the beginning of weight loss. Yes, it's hard when you go out, but you can learn to make healthful changes. Don't be afraid to ask for substitutions or get your food cooked the way you want to. If you want something fattening off the menu, get a box and put half in right away. Start with a side salad and put dressing on side. If you are going to someone's house, you can always ask them what they are serving and see if they would like you bring a dessert (it all depends on how well you know the people). It does get better.
