Going out to Eat-always a hard thing for me!

Tonight very good friends of mine are taking me out for a belated birthday dinner. These friends know absolutely every thing there is to know about me. They have been there for me through thick AND thin! Going out to eat for me is a very difficult thing. I notice though that much of that 'FRENZIED-out-of-control- eating' that I do when I go out can cease if I just stop and get or am already in the right frame of mind. I am going to shower as I have been out at the beach all day and I am going to try to dress as nice as possible. I started to just throw my hair back and even skip the make-up for awhile and for what?! I am going to meditate even if for only three minutes on how I want to behave with my food tonight. Does this sound nuts to you? I think it may just work for me! Let's see... I will come back and report. Pssssst...this is for you too!<3
