I hear ya, except my downfall is potatoes. I spent last week at a training, but it went better than I expected. I always ordered a salad, moved the bread away from me, and asked for vegetables instead of a potato. One restaurant, though, gave everyone vegetables and a potato, so that time it was difficult. I ate 3 small bites of the potato, but only after I had finished the salad, the green beans, and part of my steak. Then I was too full to eat any more. Good luck this weekend.

oh, I also took some NS food with me just in case I couldn't find anything to eat, but then I didn't need it. It felt good to have the back-up with me just in case.

Take some NS bars with you, if you have them. Drink lots of water, keep a filled water bottle with you. When there's a chance, walk instead of ride. Remember portion control and use the NS guidelines for "eating out".

You'll do fine! Have a good time and enjoy your family! Dawn
