I have learned to be mindful (mostly) when eating out. But have to admit it still scared me to think of a celebration or a dinner get together. I know I will have to be aware for the rest of my life.
I generally try to decide what and how much I will eat prior to taking even the first bite. Putting all the food on the plate is so much better, than just grabbing and snacking on it. That way you can see the amount of food you are about to indulge in rather than “oh, I will just try this and that” which can amount to a WHOLE lot of food and calories.
