| I'm going to disclose something to you I've never heard anyone say. And to those reading this...do not flame me.
We all come from somewhere and are headed to better health...and it's a process. As long as we take a step forward...we are doing good, right?
Okay, that said. I still eat too much from time to time. I've gotten better...but still.
I frequent the Vegas Buffet. I always have a stack of cups in the car or in my purse. You know those Solo or Dixie cups...plastic...either red or blue.... anyways. I eat...then when I feel something getting stuck...I drink to bring it back up. I simply lean over a tad w/ the napkin at my mouth hiding the cup. It take less than a second. I put the cup down.
Location is everything...need a bench, wall, plant or something to at least block view.
Now, that's what I do from time to time when I eat out. No, it isn't right...sure it isn't healthy. But I do it.
I call it .... the cup. I rely on that cup when I drive long distances and have to eat drive thru, I rely on that cup when I try a new dish and don't know whether or not it will get stuck...I rely on that cup often. I used to do it w/ every meal. Then thru the process I retrained myself to learn my stop signal. I got it down to once a day, then a few times a week....now it's not so much anymore. But I do it when I go to a buffet.
Other than that, eat! Have fun! You don't have to eat a whole lot to enjoy food. Even at a buffet you can simply have a teaspoon of everything and just sample it. The buffet at Treasure Island is my favorite...most tasty. The funnest place is at the Excalibur...Angry Dick's Last Resort...they are a hostile staff and you get yelled at...the younger crowd loves it.
Have fun! |
