Cannot resist a buffet table

Anyone else here who simply cannot resist a table of snacks when you’re at a party?

I struggle to think of anything but the food when it’s nearby. I’m sure if I saw a video of how much I ate I’d be horrified. I’m sure all my friends notice I eat the most! (Not that it matters, but I wonder why this doesn’t shame me out of it?)

Any tips on avoiding thinking about it would be much appreciated. At the end of the day it’s just me having zero self restraint!

It shouldn't matter occasionally if you eat sensibly the rest of the time.

How many parties do you go to? One thing you could do to limit what you're eating at buffets is to fill a bowl with salad (not pasta!) and just have one pastry. You just have to make the decision to do it...and physically stand away from the table.

Take some chewing gum. When you want to stop eating chew that so you can't just pick without getting rid of it.
