    I do have that panic. I remind myself that I am going to have these situations in life. I try to not eat out more than once a day, so that I can try to salvage any extra calories I can. I also make sure I record it the best I can. If it's not something done often, then I will enjoy it.

    No I don't panic, I try and find out where we are going first. Then I will go online and see if they have a menu posted, most do. I have a 16 year old daughter that usually is with us when we go out and most of the time I will share a plate with her. We will split the steak or chicken, she takes the fries or baked potato and I will have the salad (with dressing on the side). If we are out with out my daughter I will order off the childrens or seniors menu most places don't mind. There have been times when I order a regular plate and right away ask for a take home box and split the meal in half or thirds and box up the rest. On my way out/on our way home, if I see a homeless person I normally hand them my "left overs".

    This post makes no sense to me. You obviously lost your share of weight. I think you should know by now, one bad day isn't going to make you gain all your weight back. It's not going to make you or break you. If you do eat out often then... I'd understand your concern.

    Very true!! Unless is there an issue with dining out you feel you will not have portion control? Even if its a calorie rich meal, (how about when you go to someone elses house and they don't cook healthy- that is my worst fear!- usually I offer to bring a big salad anywhere I go). I would enjoy the meal, get what you want, if you are concerned about over eating, share your plate with someone- or get a to go box at beginning and put half in there. This is not uncommon, nor rude to those you are dining with. I am sure they'll respect your decision to respect your body with your diet
