It’s only my 2nd day and I am learning as I go that’s for sure!

I ended up eating most of my daily calories at breakfast.

The problem that i face is that my family centers everything around food. All of our “family time” is based around going out to eat. Going to the grocery store and finding strange and obscure things to try is something that my mother enjoys fully. I’ve taken on that trait.

So today my mother and I went out to breakfast before i had to go to work. We do this pretty much every sunday since I’m not home for “sunday breakfast” anymore. We go to a southern style restaurant and share what they call “The Big Man’s Breakfast.” It’s cheaper than both of us getting a meal and we can take some home to Dad or brother when we’re done because we never eat it all.

Usually I don’t eat any lunch after a breakfast like this but that leaves me hungry all day. Then when dinner comes around I am STARVING!

Of course i end up eating anything I can get my hands on. This is why I’m working on the blog tonight! I don’t want to eat the whole house.

Plan of action for next week

If we DO go out and have breakfast I will cut my portion of food down even more (putting half of each thing into the to go box.)

Tomorrow is Weigh in day. I know I weighed yesterday because I just started all this but i feel that Mondays should be a weigh day for me. It helps me to keep that in my thought over the weekend so I don’t go crazy. Knowing i have to weigh on Monday may help me not overindulge on nights out and sunday breakfasts.

Question – What are your favorite tips for eating out or with family?
