Sometimes, life dictates that you must go to a restaurant that you would not have chosen based on your lifestyle. For instance, birthdays, etc of family members. The biggest problem for me is always getting through a buffet meal without overdoing. I try to eat the soup and salad first to get a little full and then a little of whatever else, but without fail, I always overdo it. Anyone have some tried and trued ways of making it through a buffet meal?

Personally, I would have to meet up with the family later if it was a place I knew I couldn't make good choices. I have gotten into the mindset that my health is the most important thing and I will have to make some difficult decisions sometimes. As far as if you feel like you need to go, stick with the soups and salad. If you struggle to limit things, just don't get them to begin with and maybe that will help. It sure isn't an easy journey.
