1. Request all sauces and dressings on the side.
2. Order nothing fried, only steamed or grilled.
3. Avoid "all you can eat" buffets.
4. Know the restaurant you are going to so you know what you can eat.
5. Tell the server, "no bread."
6. Ask for a "to go" box when you order....and place your food in it as soon as your order arrives so you won't keep eating.
7. Be a pain, a polite pain, but have it your way.....it's your health.
8. Don't be afraid to ask how something is prepared.
9. Choose Brothy soups over creamy soups....fewer calories.
10. If possible, pick a restaurant within walking distance...bonus exercise.
11. Go for fajitas without the tortillas & sour cream.
12. Make sure you are hydrated.
13. STAY AT HOME & COOK..... it's the best, healthiest option.

Calling for personal stories
I'm looking for personal stories and/or before & after pictures to share with others, either on this blog or for our bulletin board. I'm going to try posting a couple days a week instead of every day. I welcome ideas & suggestions for topics, recipes you would like to share, etc.
