I don't see how people who look at this as a diet, saying they will stay away from ____ forever, can be successful in the long run. Deprivation just leads to going out-of-control, how I got fat in the first place. The occasional treat won't kill you.
I am in social situations involving food ALL THE TIME. It's no big deal guys. No one is watching how much you eat, nor do they care. They are socializing and enjoying each other's company. When you are able to eat more (I'm over three years out) like I am, you just choose the right things. Look for the protein and veggies. Goes great with wine. (See, I am totally not the rule follower.) My life has not changed, and you newbies need to stop thinking it will. You will have a great new life as a regular sized person, enjoying food just like before, only less of it and the right stuff!
