I have a very hard time with self control, and I was worried about going to Golden Corral. I ate very little today knowing we were going and made sure I did some execises to kind of offset dinner. I went and started with a good sized salad with fat free dressing and some broccoli and cucumbers. I then went to the hot food section and since I had checked out the calorie amounts of each food item so I had an idea of what i could eat. I managed to leave there with 600 calories left for the day, even after splurging on a chocolate chip cookie. I was so afraid I would give in like I usually do but I didnt. I was upset with the fact that our local one had downsized their salad and fruit bar, but I managed anyway. I am so happy I was able to do it.

    Way to go!!! I still don't trust myself at buffets like Golden Corral or Chinese. You should be so proud of yourself.

    I actually prefer to go to Golden Corral if I am eating out. I feel that I can get full and still be under 5-600 cals. As long as I am full I can say no to all the other stuff!

    Great job, that feeling of having power over the food, instead of the food having
    power over us is a great one.

    GREAT JOB! I have been staying so far away from all buffets for that reason. I always want 1 of each fried item (AGH). LOL so i'll stay away until . . . . well a long time. But great job!!!
