Free food strikes again

First, good news--I finally got my 5lb milestone! It took my 2 1/2 months, but by golly I finally got it. My goal is to have my next 5 lb milestone before July 1 :-)

On the whole, yesterday wasn't bad. But I did give in to free food. When I got to work there were leftover bagels and coffee from some kind of training session. So I said, I'll just have a half of one with cream cheese. Then I got hungry later and said, I'll go have another half of one. Freaking 7 points a half for a total of 14 points! That was a shock. 

Later at dinner, I ate the bread with peanut butter because I just didn't feel full. I wasn't hungry anymore, but I just felt like I needed something else that had substance to it. I don't really know why I felt like that.

Last night was a friend's last night in town before she moved back home, so I met my friends for drinks. I was pretty proud of myself for having only one drink and for getting out of there only spending $7.50. I didn't go to dinner with them and only met them for drinks bc I just couldn't afford dinner plus drinks :-\. Ah, well, it's all for the best.

As for the bagels: I know I should have either just stuck to eating one half or not eaten any at all, but honestly, I really don't know how to deal with free food. I feel wasteful if I don't at least have a little, but then I usually end up taking too much and then I've wasted my points. 

What do you do when faced with free food?
