My plan was:
-load up on veggies
-try a LITTLE bit of things that look good that you don’t always get
-be mindful
So, there were hardly ANY veggies! Seriously, like a smaaaaalllll little platter of veggies. So, I had a salad – it had a dressing on it, but I figured it was better than the fried chicken (which I passed up)!!!! I also tried a little bit of someones fried rice, a little bit of pasta salad, a little bit of some other kind of salad, and a half of a sandwich. Yes, like a literal sandwich – turkey and cheese on wheat bread. So, not horribly horrible. I DID allow myself dessert. AND, I don’t feel bad about it what-so-ever. I had a small piece of the Rice Krispie bars that I made as well as a cupcake – YES! A cupcake. It was good and I got a snowflake ring on top of it – even BETTER! Haha
They looked JUST like this:
So, I don’t know if I’d consider my potluck experience a “win” – but it wasn’t a complete fail. I would have eaten worse in the past. And to think – when I was still hungry – I went back and got more SALAD. Good job, Linds, good job!
All about moderation people, it’s KEY!
Could I have done even better? Yes. Could I have done worse? HECK YES.
I’m content with how it went. I’ll be even better at it next time. 
Have a nice afternoon, friends!

PS – I wish I could have taken a picture to show you guys alllllllllll the food! Imagine, there were about 60-70 people in on this potluck. Imagine ALL THAT FOOD. You guys, seriously you should have seen this cake this woman brought in… HUGE, CHOCOLATE, GOODNESS! It took everything in me to avoid it, but I did it! Seriously, have you guys ever seen the movie Matilda…? Remember that chocolate cake? It SERIOUSLY reminded me of THAT. Yikes.
Gross…
