A smoked salmon appetizer with cream cheese. They both said they felt pleasantly full, not "stuffed". They even opted to wait till Friday for my brother's really excellent tiramisu. No doubt it was easier as there were so few at table, but I felt quite pleased with the whole event. Scale shows little damage. Both guys know, and appreciate, what I am doing, and my success, though neither cares to emulate me. Hubby should, but won't. Brother is not 100% healthy, but skinny, so sees no need.

Excellent approach!
