I don't think it would take much time. Can use the search box to find those posts. I think there were some soups you have mentioned but not posted recipes too.

It is not that I am particularly worried about over eating (although there is ALWAYS that), it is that I get tired of being surrounded by food. Just don't want the hassle is the best way I know to describe it. I am fortunate that I (like you) do not have to deal with this feeling in my own house. A lot of bloggers families are like society in general.

She said we can work on feeling in control around food - because I often over eat in social situations because I get social anxiety. It's something to work on!Jeanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10932197714895328100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058442233602410874.post-49996863758034804362014-03-06T08:27:43.413-05:002014-03-06T08:27:43.413-05:00Happy Birthday and many more!

We do not eat while we play. We all love to play. All the kids friends (24, 20, 16) actually love to do this when at our house. None of their families play. And we have close family friends that we see many times a year and that is what the two families do when together. Very, very fun.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058442233602410874.post-17300205509133547552014-03-05T18:16:28.327-05:002014-03-05T18:16:28.327-05:00Happy birthday!!!

I wish I could be strong enough to say "thanks but no thanks" but for some reason when I am at a restaurant it becomes so hard to say no to foods that I know are not doing me any health favors. So I have also started just opting out of these gatherings altogether.<br /><br />I also get resentful about always being the friend trying to come up with creative ideas for get-togethers ("Let's go for a hike!" "Let's go bowling!" "Let's go to a museum!") and the only suggestion anyone else ever has is to go out and eat food.<br /><br />Wish we lived closer, I have a feeling we would get along IRL :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515791040413438591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058442233602410874.post-11571815404340912302014-03-05T18:05:56.097-05:002014-03-05T18:05:56.097-05:00I'm sorry you are not in a place to go, say &#...I'm sorry you are not in a place to go, say 'thanks but no thanks', and be true to your food ideals, instead of tempted.

It's a shame you feel you can't enjoy time with your friends, it's probably something in the future you'll need to sort out because it's no fun missing out on social activities because of food.
