 So the family loves to eat at the all-you-can-eat buffets. They figure they get their money's worth, but you're the one that gets an extra few pounds. Hi, I'm Pam Smith with a tip for living well. While I'm not a fan of buffets, if you have a family or group that frequents them, know that you can survive with the right attitude. First, remind yourself before you go that you don't have to sample everything and that you're going for the friends and fun, not the fantastic assortment of food.
