Been a good couple days. Faced with a lot of the same picnic and potluck situations that have derailed me in the past, I maintained control. I had two plates at the picnic yesterday and they weren't filled with veggies, but I was hungry and I didn't feel stuffed afterwards. Just had a steamer for dinner to compensate. Today was another get together. Had a little of everything, didn't go back for seconds, and enjoyed the meal. Had a slice of birthday ice cream cake and enjoyed each bite. Snacked on some raw veggies this evening. All in all, wins all around. I enjoyed food that I love, and maintained control.
