Eating at the buffet

[Guest guest]

You know, I have found that my best ie experiences have been eating out...especially going to a buffet. Today we went to a big Easter buffet at a local hotel after church. It had some incredible food. I took just a little bit of everything that looked appealing to me...which meant steering away from the salad bar I ate until I was satisfied and even left food on my plate and didn't even think about going back for seconds. They had a wide variety of yummy looking deserts, but by the time I was done eating, I had absolutely no desire for desert. I don't know why, but I am finding it easier to follow IE principles at a resturant than at home. I now LOVE to go out to eat...I no longer spend the 24hrs prior to going out to eat stressing over what is going to happen. It's a truly enjoyable experience!It was also interesting to watch my 2 year old in action!!! We can learn so much from toddlers He started by eating his desert first (a yummy jello cake) and then dug into his ham, mashed potatoes, carrots, corn, and then finished off with some fresh fruit. Just by instinct he ate a perfectly healthy meal of his own choosing!!!!Then there was hubby...ugh... I had to listen to him whine all the way home (a 40min drive) about how miserable he felt from eating way too much. :/ I asked him why he didn't stop...he just said "It's against the rules to only eat less than 2 plates worth at a buffet!!!" UGH!God Bless,Dayna:)Rediscover Hotmail®: Now available on your iPhone or BlackBerry Check it out.
