BUFFETS TERRIFIED ME ๐Ÿ˜ฑ


Buffets used to EXCITE AND TERRIFY me, because of the many food choices but

๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ I didn't know how to control how much I'd be eating

๐Ÿ˜จ I couldn't tell I was full until it was too late

๐Ÿคข I was afraid to gain weight


My old strategy to counter this was to

๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Not eat anything before a buffet

โ›” Avoid going to buffets


While the 2nd point doesn't sound bad, it also meant I would either feel guilty because I'd miss out on buffet lunches with my friends/family, or I'd go and feel shame after for overeating later.


It was horrible๐Ÿ˜”.


It took a while but I finally was able to use my plate as a guide! ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

  1. Fill up at least half my plate with veg Rather than filling my plate with ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ๐Ÿž, I'd make sure that about half my plate was vegetables. This could be a salad๐Ÿฅ—, or grilled/roasted/stewed vegetables๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ†๐ŸŒถ๏ธ๐Ÿฅฆ The other half would be protein variety ๐Ÿ— with a bit of carbs ๐Ÿ  For dessert, I'd stick to one small plate๐Ÿฐ.

  2. Put down utensils To make sure, I'm not stuffing my face and over-eating, I literally put down my utensils ๐Ÿด between bites to be more aware of my hunger or fullness.


Nowadays I'm able to enjoy eating without guilt or shame at buffets! It's liberating! ๐Ÿฅณ
