Going to a restaurant starved almost certainly guarantees I’ll eat more than I need. Thank you for the b-day wishes. It was special to get to be with my grandparents.

If I don’t go starved to a restaurant, I’m ok with a piece of bread because it feels special. If I go starving, that can be very dangerous to have bread. Usually I’m not dedicated enough to say ‘take it away’ unless it’s bread that I don’t love, so I end up eating too much and feeling bad :-/

That is my love/hate relationship with vacations- I can EASILY put on 10 pounds in two weeks- not by binging or going crazy- if I’m not very aware and careful. It sucks. And Andrea’s right- the older I get the easier the weight slams on my body. And the longer it takes to come off.

I do like to order foods that I can’t or don’t make at home- dessert included unless I’m too full- and we always share a dessert so it could be a lot worse. And wine makes the calories go up substantially, so I have to make the call on that depending on my current weight-battle status :-)

Hope your birthday was great today!! And that you’re having fun with the relatives!

I like your eating out tips. I especially like that you point out that it’s not very wise to go overboard 4 days in a row. I think a lot of people get in trouble while on vacation because they tell themselves “I am on vacation, and I can eat whatever.” It’s so easy to pack on a lot of pounds very quickly (and the older you get the easier it gets!). But I also like your idea of a free meal once in a while that you enjoy without worries.
