Thank you for this!
I completely understand that other people may prefer not to count or prefer to cut loose but I've lost 50 pounds with another 35 to go, and I didn't have a very healthy relationship with food. Binge eating is a serious and dangerous issue I've dealt with and going "wild" at Disneyworld is about as healthy for me as for an anorexic to just not eat at all their entire trip. I'm planning on enjoying a few treats when I go next January but my way of balancing that is by eating much lighter the rest of the time. It's good to know I can request food be prepared with minimal butter or oil. Is it possible to sub out starches, etc with vegetables too?
I'm not sure on food preparation, but you can usually sub a vegetable for fries, or just order without fries at QS places (they take like $1 off). If I am trying to watch how I eat there, I take buns off of burgers and chicken sandwiches, go without the carbs for the most part, eat salads, etc. Also, I will use Myfitnesspal and log food in as McDonalds if it's QS and find similar substitutions for other meals. Also, don't go for the dining plan. There is dessert at every meal.
