<human>: So, this is actually sticking. For the past 3 years I've just kind of thrown my hands up and decided that every time I went out to eat it was a "treat yo self" occasion. BUT this weekend I realized that I can eat "treat" foods if I plan for them and I also accept that I can not eat an entire meal of treats. So for instance, we went out to a restaurant that has a fantastic grilled cheese sandwhich on the menu. It comes with fries, but you can sub soup. So I subbed in tomato soup and ate 3 fries off my husband's plate. 

On the way to a wedding yesterday, my husband stopped at In And Out (he works Sundays and hadn't had a chance to eat) and I knew there'd be food at the wedding (CAKE!) that I wanted to eat more than In and Out, so I had one bite of his burger and ate a fiber one bar to get me through the ceremony and then I had some fancy snacks and a cupcake. I tracked it all. 

It was just kind of exciting to me that I'm learning how to make choices. I don't have to turn my nose up at stuff just cause I'm trying to lose weight.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: I am feeling more confident in my ability to manage potentially stressful eating situations. Being prepared and planning ahead is helpful, but if I am backed into a corner, I can make the best of the situation.
