Social Situation Success - Buffets
Here are some strategies for eating out at a buffet:
• If it is a group decision to go to a buffet, and you are uncomfortable with that choice, ask if anyone minds going somewhere else. If you feel supported, explain that to the people in your group.
• Ask if you could meet them at the restaurant after they eat. Or say that you are tied up until then, and you will come for a coffee after instead.
• If you end up going to the buffet restaurant, ask for a menu instead of choosing the buffet option. Feel confident making this good choice and avoiding the buffet.
• Ask to be seated far away from the buffet. If the buffet is in someone’s home, sit far away from the buffet table.
• If you choose to partake of the buffet, survey the spread for wise choices and also for ideas that will promote your success. Stick to your plan. Tell yourself that the foods on a buffet table always look much better than they taste. Actually this is probably true because the foods are prepared in large quantities and kept warm or cold for hours rather than being prepared fresh for individual plates.
• Choose a smaller plate if you can. If a smaller plate is not available, then stay within the inner ring of the dinner plate and don’t place any food beyond that edge.
• Have a small soup to start, or a large salad.
• Have just a dab of what you would like to try. When you place the food samples on your plate, arrange it so that foods don’t touch each other.
• Take your time. Sit down and enjoy your food. Taste every bite; enjoy the company.
• Have fruit for dessert. Share a sugary dessert if you must, but have just one or two bites. Enjoy them. Savor the flavors. Allow yourself to have the taste without overindulging.
• When you are done eating, place your knife and fork on the plate and cover your plate with your paper napkin. Shift the plate away from you a couple of inches. This signals that you are finished eating and a server can remove your plate.
• Resist the temptation to go back to the table for “seconds.” Be honest with yourself about your eating plan and be in control. Breathe!

Food Social Situations Success Tips! part 1
Social events
Here are some more strategies that can help you focus on the event and not the food:
• Plan your day when you know you will be going out later. Balance your meals and snacks earlier in the day.
• Otherwise you will be so hungry that you will over-do it when you get to the event.
• Compensate for an occasion that you know will be centered on food: plan extra exercise and balance out your daily food intake.
• Ask what will be served so you know how to plan ahead of time.
• Plan to eat in moderation and adjust your portions accordingly. Choose foods that are healthy.
• If you must have a sweet dessert, select one that is your least favorite so you do not eat as much of it.
• Ask your host or hostess if you may bring a dish to the event—make it something that you can fit into your eating plan.
• Do you have a support person with you? Tell that support person ahead of time about any food or eating challenges you expect to encounter. Talk about the support you need.
• Show up to the event later to avoid the appetizers. Eat before you go.
• Pre-portion your plate with foods that fit your plan and only eat what is on your plate to avoid picking.
• Focus on the non-food topics and on the other guests.
• Keep a healthy drink in your hand at all times; make it a full or half-full glass to ensure no one asks if you need a drink.
• Keep a purse, or a plate, cutlery and a napkin in the other hand to keep you from nibbling at the food or refilling your plate.
• Keep the conversation going as you stay away from the table or the treats.
• Help the hosts by taking empty plates or cups the kitchen to avoid being tempted to nibble at the food offerings.
To be continued …with buffets.

A great tip for those of you taking the weight journey...
A great tip for those of you taking the weight journey...
Every time you have a moment of clarity on what is helping you be successful, write that thought in your book. Keep updating your book whenever successful thoughts come into your head. If you don't have your book handy, just write it down on a scrap piece of paper and transfer it into your book later. This book is all about your OWN tips on how you can stay successful; a year from now, 3 years from now, 10 years from now...etc.
The idea is, for instance, if you said, "Having that afternoon snack to curb my appetite until dinner is a lifesaver for me to ensure that I do not overeat at supper!" That right there is a golden nugget of information for you to keep so that when you go off track a bit, which you will, that golden nugget will be in your book, at your fingertips. Almost like an operator's manual for you, about you, about getting right back on track! Sooner than the usual 20 pounds later!
Wishing you less struggle and less pain associated with your relationship with food. My workbook "Oxygen Mask" will guide you and help you through your journey and be there for you when you need it.
