My main concern is if
: you are out and about at a
: restaurant or something, or at a
: party. I mean, go into the
: bathroom or something?
: Lol...perhaps I am thinking too
: much into it.

if I am out at a restaurant I can remember what I ate till I get to my journal, so it goes in later

I do have to be very attentive though and do it fairly soon as if I am not careful then about 2 days have gone by before I remember I haven't done it Its funny how we forget, but the awareness of that is pretty useful. Knowing if I dont write I'll go into coast along mode is really handy - coasting through doesnt suit me

( to think: when I started I thought, I KNOW what I eat, so writing it down is a bit of a daft exercise, isnt it? But it turned out to be useful in so many ways!)

Not that much of a party animal, I have had an easy time in that respect. By the time I went to a few New Years parties and suchlike, I had some time listening to step three people for strategies. I will write when I get home, but always have a pen and paper in my handbag so I'm prepared for anything.

I find I can do anything ususual pretty much, - like geting jacket potato out of my handbag and plonking it on my plate, getting my own salad dressing out at a restaurant, or requesting a meal without chips ( fries) and with something else instead- no one notices at all, and if they do I look so scary confident about it they darent ask
