That's an interesting observation. My most recent over-calorie day was April 7, for a family gathering and I expected to get substantially over. The following day, April 8, was not normal, as I was quick to yield to random thoughts of consuming food. It being a Sunday I had the time and opportunity to use my cardio machines long enough to burn off the extra calories and finished that day green. These 2 weeks on target have been the longest stretch I've managed in several months, and it hasn't been difficult.

Mrs. and I don't do buffets, so that's not a recurring problem for me.

I haven't been to a buffet in forever. I don't think I could do it because to get my money's worth, I have to stuff myself and I hate that feeling. We went to my mom's for my wife's birthday and had a feast and I ate way too much and was just uncomfortable the rest of the evening and had a hard time sleeping. I felt normal the next day though.

Im so glad i posted, Its been very interesting hearing peoples views on buffets/large meals and how they have changed/been dealt with over time. Its interesting to me to hear from those i know are in the pro if it fits your calories/IIFYM camp seem to have a much easier time with buffets. That aswell is a good lesson to newbies and long termers alike, Its proof in my eyes that allowing yourself foods you want leads to generally better self control/craving control long term. Not that this was unknown, But as someone who cant moderate so i have to restrict 95% of the time its a good reminder.


As someone both in the eat what i want in my calories but also struggle with binge eating its been a kind of eye opening experience having this change. Nothing has really changed, But im more knowledgable on the topic

i have OCD issues, and buffets violate EVERY SINGLE ONE of my food rules.

you wont ever catch me in one, and I refused even on a cruise to eat at it. i ate in the dining rooms/restaurants.
