how did you survive the national all you can eat fest?

i did it by staying home. being one day shy of a month out, i realized in the middle of the night that i had the dreaded FOF, Fear of Food. And i was worried about being able to get up off the low toilet seats at my aunt's home (i have a toilet seat extender since i broke my shoulder 2 1/2 weeks ago). So i slept off and on most of the day - close to 8 hours so i must have needed it, drank Revival Soy protein shakes made with Lactaid, and glasses of water when i was awake, and had 1/4 baked potato around 8 PM. The REAL baked potato, from the still oven, not the nuker. i have to say i feel much better at 10 PM than i did at 10 AM. cheers jan
