Here’s some “food for thought” — this week I am sharing with you my strategy for eating out : )

Last week I went out to dinner with my family to our favorite Mexican restaurant. Before we got there I had already decided what I really wanted to eat and what I would feel good about not having. I chose what I really wanted to eat.

Instead of having the full meal, I skipped the sides of rice and beans and enjoyed 2 delicious tacos! And guess what…it was plenty of food!

By allowing myself to eat what I really wanted to eat I found it easy to use portion control. By doing so I was able to enjoy my favorite food, the time with my family and I did not feel guilty afterwards.
