I am so nervous about having a TE due to the fact that my husband and I eat out at many evenings.  Children are grown and I enjoy eating out now.  How fast will I have a TE if I overeat in the fat department?  Will I make it home?  SCARED to eat is how I will lose the weight.

TE's can happe 24-72 hours after the offending meal.  So you will certainly make it home, but you might not the next day!

You can skip the pill if you know you are having a hard time identifying the calorie and fat in the meal.  Also many large restaurants have web sites posting thier menus and nutritional values, you can do homework before you go and order what fits into your needs.
