I told my family to go out to eat without me- it was better to avoid the temptation!

That's sad.
The point of getting your eating under control isn't to be miserable, deny yourself fun / pleasure, it's to learn to eat in moderation.
Moderation is sustainable, denial is not.
I eat all kinds of things people probably wouldn't think someone "on a diet" would have (pizza, beer, pasta, cheese, cookies, Chinese buffet, peanut butter) and I'm having great success, not feeling deprived.0 -

yes i agree its all about portions and cutting back on fats i used to be very athletic and i went to the pizza/chinease buffet here and there but if you know its going to be hard to resist temptation you made the right choice..i always think if your at the begining of a weight loss journey you should try to avoid tempting food because you are still volnurable well personal experiance as you get further along it will get easier0 -
I understand why you didn't go out to eat with your family, but you've got to be able to enjoy yourself AND make responsible choices in the real world. Don't deny yourself...that is not usually something anyone can maintain for a reasonable amount of time. Look up nutritional value before you get to the restaurant and give yourself the choice between the three healthiest options. Eat half and take the rest home. I would never skip an opportunity to dine out with my family at a decent restaurant. Fast food I'd totally pass on, though...just not worth it, IMO.0

It was my first week on my new "vegan" plan. It was the best choice at that time. I have since gone out to eat with my family & took my own food along.0

Tagging because I'm wondering the same thing0 -
I'm guessing she plans to be vegan.
Side note, I think taking your own food to a restaurant is unsanitary and exceptionally rude.0 -

I don't think taking a small bag of organic mini carrots into Wendy's is so rude. I have a teenager and that is where he wanted to eat & I needed to spend time with him.0

it doesn't hurt to go off the routine once in a while and enjoy yourself with your family0

Again- it was MY FIRST week of no caffeine, no sugar, no white flour product, white potatoes or rice, no dairy, no meat.0

I do the same! Until I can trust myself to not over eat while out, I'm not going out with family/friends to eat.0

I have gone "vegan" but it's not a life-long thing. When I've lost the weight I will allow muskeg to eat small portions of lean meat & limited dairy. I am only eating fruits & vegetables right now. No sugar, no "white" foods such as rice potatoes etc & only water to drink. I do liquify my fruits & veggies. It is my own interpretation of the Biblical "Daniel diet." I lost 5.5 lbs the first week & determined to stay strong-0
