Eat at a Celebrity Restaurant

OK, its nearly March and I haven't started on the list yet. I figure that a lot of the things are still going to be difficult but I am determined to start living my life again.

Challenge One - Eat at a celebrity restaurant.

I know what you are thinking: How is that difficult? well honestly it isn't, but then most things on my list wouldn't phase most people, but I am a complete scaredy cat, chicken shit, nervous freak!

What could possibly scare me about a meal out?

1. What to wear? Since I am at least 4 stone overweight I never feel confident in anything, I know I could look better if I was thinner, so I put off going out anywhere never mind somewhere classy and expensive. Then there is the whole how dressy should I look; smart casual or dinner dress, the latest fashion or classic elegance?

2. Etiquette. Call for a reservation or not? Wait for a table or take a seat? Order at the counter/bar or from a waiter? Wine testing? Finding the toilet. Tipping. It's a minefield of things that could go wrong.

3. Cost. OK not really a fear, but when you are counting every penny (aren't we all?) and have been for 6 years, deciding to spend it feels risky; have you seen the prices at some of these places? And what if something happens and I need the money and its gone?

So there are good reasons for it being on my list. I am not just doing it because it might be fun and I have never done it before.

The next thing is to decide where to go?
