Ok, So I hate to cook. But I have come up with my take-out dilemma. I actually ask for a box with my meal. It is not embarassing or awkward like it sounds and it rocks! I live in NYC so I do have the advantage that all chain restaurants are legally required to put how many calories that are in a dish on the menu, but it really works! After I box up half I eat the other half of the plate and really enjoy it knowing I am within my limits. My fiance thought it was cool as I did it at dinner 3 times this week (once when I ordered take out I separated it at home.) Totally worth it. It was something I always read in magazines and I cannot figure out why I never tried it before, self-concious maybe? No idea, it was stupid to not do though. I <3 eating out and now I can!

    The last time I lost weight (I've done it several times) ~ I lost about 70 or 80 lbs by simply doing that. I only ate half of whatever I would have normally eaten all of. A candy bar or whatever it was....I now have learned to love kids menus (when restaurants allow). It's just the right amount of food. :)

    Awesome! I'm definitely adding this to my list of things to do!!! I read somewhere that most kids meals are actually what an adult serving should be! It's a shame so many places won't let you order off the kids menu!
