Today at work there’s a potluck for lunch. I usually don’t participate in these things because I feel like I can’t eat most of the food. It’s a goofy food issue, I know. I just get anxious about how many calories I’m eating. I didn’t make the food, I don’t know how many calories are in what I’m eating, and it’s always really tasty stuff — which means there’s a risk of overeating.<\/p>\n

I brought some Biscotti and sliced a few oranges.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Someone else brought pizza, and a few people also brought Fried Chicken from Popeye’s<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Strawberry salad. MMmmm! I love my coworker’s strawberry salad because it’s so crunchy. I MUST get the recipe so I can recreate it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Of course, the dessert table is out of control!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I saw a tiny piece of pizza and I snagged that. I got 1 piece of chicken. 1 scoop of hummus, 1 scoop of artichoke dip, a few crackers, 1 scoop of coleslaw, and 1 scoop of mashed potatoes. My goal was to just have a taste of everything I wanted to try and not go overboard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After I ate that stuff, I got some of the strawberry salad and a slice of watermelon. Wonderful! I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to resist the desserts or have a bite.<\/p>\n

On another note, I wrote a short review of my new running shorts over on my Product Reviews Page.<\/a> Check it out!<\/p>\n

QUESTION: Do you like potlucks? Do you feel pressured to eat things you wouldn’t normally eat? How do you deal with that?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

UPDATE: <\/em><\/strong>I went back for some more Strawberry salad and gave in…I had a taste of the key lime pie and the chocolate pie!!! <\/em><\/p>\n
