Goodbye All-You-Can-Eat Buffets

For quite a while I stayed away from them for the same reason but have come to think that unless it is an expensive place I still get my money's worth because I am eating what I need. Since it is a rarity for us I don't mind. I take a little of what I want, eat a bit of each and toss the rest. We too often judge by what we used to eat which was certainly not normal (at least I wasn't).

I also forgot to mention in my previous post.. so what it's $10 dollars or whatever and you don't eat your fair share.. I'm sure over eating on stuff like that in the long run will cost you more than $10 healthwise lol

So it enjoy it even if it's small portions and really see it as a treat and not an expense.. it's mourning the food that is bad.. you should be like oh great I can still come to eat at the buffett and eat a small portion and feel full but not stuffed and the scale won't hate me tomorrow.

Don't mourn food!! Stop that! .. I got to buffets with my mom on the occasion and I stick to small piece of turkey and salad.. and they have this asain station where they cook your meat with veggies and I do 1 plate for my mom and I ate we leave about 1/2 behind.. oh well we paid for it, I load it with veggies.. dessert is my downfall but I see it as a treat and I try not to go too overboard.. and the next day I increase my exercise by an extra 30-45 min..

Good point Hermosa!

I always tell them I can only eat a small amount of food and ask if I can get the childs price....or I just skip it and take bites off my DH and Son's plates... Usually only a few bites will do the trick anyway....

2 years later and my head sometimes still thinks I can eat a large portion...I laugh everytime...still have old habits I guess ;o)
