The Real Risk Is What Comes After
- Eating out rarely ruins long-term progress; the real damage comes from how you react afterwards.
- Emotional bingeing after a slip often causes far more weight gain than the meal itself.
Bring A Specific Eating Plan
- Go to events with a concrete, specific plan like "one appetizer, one main, two drinks."
- Use that plan as your anchor to stop vague moderation from bending under impulse.

- Aim to maximize enjoyment while minimizing calories; both goals matter together.
- You can often get the same pleasure from smaller portions or starters that curb appetite.
