I realized after they brought the salad that I should have asked for dressing on the side. Had a few small pieces of the fresh bread. I skipped dessert even though it was a special occasion. I don't have much of a sweet tooth and don't normally order dessert anyway. I am guessing on amounts, but I'm pretty sure that I did manage to stay within my limit. Even so, I think next time I might find a place with some healthier not-so-boring choices. Willow Congratulations Willow. It sounds like you handled the eating out very well. You'll find it becomes easier as you go along to make healthy choices. Beverly |
