    9) how do you deal with food temptations? If I have a temptation, I eat it and log in. I do try to not go overboard, but some days it just happens. I've also learned that certain items (Oreos, for example) are things I should not keep in my house because the entire package will be gone in a short period of time.
    10) what is your typical restaurant meal? I don't go out to sit down restaurants that often, so when I do, I order what I want. I may have a salad instead of soup, or only 1 breadstick instead of 2-3, and once I start feeling full, I'll take the rest home with me.
