dining out

hello everyone. Just wanted to tell you good luck on our weight loss. I know that one of the things that I have a hard time with is when we go out to eat. Last night we went out to an Italian restaurant with a friend and I ordered lasagna. Probably not the smartest choice but I really wanted lasagna. So before I even started eating, I had it arranged to take 1/2 of the meal home and now we have lunch or dinner for another meal and I was able to step on the scale and not cringe. Won't be able to do that often but once in a while is okay.
