Personal Victory
So I once again the game-plan saved me. I only had the pulled pork sandwich and resisted all the fried "fair-type" foods. I knew what I was going to order before I got there.

Observations
Once again preparation was key for an event like this. If I went in thinking to resist everything I probably would have eaten a lot worse.

So I had a Birthday BBQ for my mom's 65th. It was hard to resist the cake but at least I was more in control of what was being served at my house.
