Kathy, I admire that you got back on track even with the fire situation. Stress like that is such a trigger for taking comfort from food! Great job.

Don, sounds like the Stars game was definitely a victory for you! I went to the Angels game last weekend, as a guest in a suite, where they had all kinds of temptations. I followed the plan I set for myself in advance - not knowing what they would have, but knowing it would probably be tempting, I had a very light lunch and decided to allow myself one indulgence (which ended up being a not-too-big slice of pizza). Having a plan firmly in mind helps a lot. When eating out in restaurants, I often look at the menu on the restaurant's website and decide in advance what is the best choice - then eat half.
