Its a 'stay in control' thing...

lets say you are off to an all-you-can-eat Thai buffet... There are several ways of approaching this:

1. stay on plan, limit your choices - you may feel deprived, and end up eating whole loaves of bread with nutella later that evening...

2. eat what you want blowing gazillions of syns and not giving a hoot

3. flexible syns... think carefully about what you are eating before you go, and set yourself a realistic syns 'limit' - you could allow yourself 40 syns, or 80 syns, whatever... when you get to the restaurant, keep in mind your target and *don't stop counting* - you are allowed the syns you have allocated yourself. 99/100 this will have you eating less syns that in you had followed (2), and you won't feel deprived, but you should feel great because you set yourself a goal and stuck to it - you stayed in control!:T
