My food 'get out of jail free' card

June 22, 2004

I've been traveling allot lately, and I use my card all the time. Well,

actually, I would if I needed to. Usually I just order right off the child's

menue. I rarely ever get any feedback from the server. When they've asked

any questions, I've explained about my surg. and they, almost every one, has

smiled and said they were happy to help. I have shown my card, but not

because I've needed to.. but because the waitress was curious! lol

I will say though. I've not gone to a buffet and I've not gone to a theme

park and tried to use it, but ever other than that, I've had wonderful

support.

If you do find yourself in a place where you can't get the smaller portions,

try asking for a to-go box at the same time you order your meal. Divide your

food as soon as you get it, it will make it easier for you, and you won't be

tempted to try and eat it all. Even if you don't take the doggy bag.. you've

just helped yourself control your serving size.

Mostly.. have fun!! Do what you can, don't sweat the rest.

Don't let the food worry dominate your vacation. You are doing, and will do

a wonderful job and deserve the fun you will have!
