My first buffet!!!!!

I went to a buffet for the first time this noon. I actually ate a small meal. Shocked the s**t out of hubby. I came home and figured up cals and protein. Thought I did really good. Calories 336.64, Protein 21.86. Had a fried chicken leg, an once of ham, a few green beans, two bites spagetti salad, and about 1/4cup broccoli salad. It was all so wonderful. I was full, a little to full, but it didn't try to come back up. This isn't going to become a habit, but it is nice to know that I can go out to eat and not have people nagging me to eat. I enjoyed the experience. Not for the food, but for the quiet time with hubby in a nice atmosphere. 86 pounds ago it would have been purely for the food. It is a nice change. I guess I have learned something in the last five and a half months. Hazel

Hope you enjoyed someone else's cooking. That's nice at times. I've gone to 1 or 2 buffets, but feel I can't get my money's worth, but sometimes you've got to do it for the rest of your family or friends. Karla

Isn't that the truth. But just being there is sometimes worth the price. Hazel

Our Golden Corral by us honors WLS patients by only charging the price for a child at their buffet I've got to ask - did you get grossed ou****ching other people eat plates and plates of food. Susan

Not really. I guess I remember only to well when that was me. I'm just glad that is isn't me any longer. Hazel

I get grossed ou****ching people eat these days. The large bites, how little they chew and the amount of food that goes in. I am sure I was just like that. But now its horrifying to see.

I notice how much people eat. I'm just glad I'm not there anymore. Karla
