I did *not* avoid any social situations with food in August and gave myself a 3,000 calorie budget for those days. Did really well with work (happy hour, company picnic, wedding shower) and kept it under that for all 3. Family events were tougher (birthday, graduation, sporting event) and I went over for all 3.

But, even on those 3 days I missed my goal, none went over 3,500 calories. I think I was aiming for 3,000 even though I missed it. I estimate I used to do 5,000-7,000 calories so this is still positive. And I'm not missing any memories to hide from food. And I hit my 2,500 daily goal for August to boot.

I know these calorie counts are *way* higher than in most other FS posts, but this is where I'm at right now.
