Your play-by-play used to happen to me a lot when I was “dieting”. It happens from time to time, but it’s definitely something I’ve worked on. Social situations have always been my pit fall, and it is hard! But your 6 steps are exactly what have helped me. I’ve tried to adjust my thinking, too. Say I order something “healthy” off a menu. While I might really want that mac ‘n’ cheese…I’m not thinking about that mac ‘n’ cheese after leaving the restaurant. We need to stop putting food on a pedestal…it’s food! I’ve never “behaved” at a restaurant, been walking out the doors and thought, “Man, I wish I would’ve had a martini and dessert! I’m not feeling stuffed enough!” That’s ridiculous, no one would think that, and I’ve gotten better about not talking up food and keeping the situation in perspective. Great advice!
