Good for you! You did great! It takes discipline. 

Good Job! Eating out is the hardest! 

I don't know if you guys feel the same but I don't find eating out in restaurants as hard as eating at someone's house as that person has prepared a meal just for their visitors and I don't want to offend and not eat what they have prepared. If the food is right for me I have no trouble but if it is all wrong I am faced with big decisions. In a restaurant I can order what I want to eat. 

I agree ... I find eating out in resturants not so bad. I am usually armed with a plan of attack. Eating at someone's house is another challenge all together. I usually offer if I can bring a salad. Good for you staying on track after eating out! :) 

Hi Helcha BMI stands for body mass index and if it is over 30 then you are condidered obese I use the one here to check mine: http://nhlbisupport.com/bmi/ 

I read in a magazine today and one of the members said that she did it today when she went out dinner. Have soup before dinner and it makes you feel full so not to eat so much of your dinner. I'm going to try it next time. 

Good work Helcha. I know exactly what you mean...I find that the home cookers are usually great preparers of very fattening, rich foods and it is difficult not to be tempted. For ex., here at my daughters', the nanny is the most wonderful cook, and cook she does. I hardly stray from SB but did have a weak moment. I used to be terrible when eating out in restaurants, loafs of bread and butter, desearts; I don't do that anymore and I too don't find it difficult any longer at restaurants. Keep it up!!!!
