    Portion control. Unless the special occasion is a competitive eating contest, it's pretty straightforward.

    I just enjoy it. Life to short to worry about over eating for a day.

    Say I had to eat 700 calories over my daily allotment bc I went to the Cheesecake Factory and my gf was mad at me for making her look fat by not eating appetizers and stuff.

    thats shocking.....u should be able to eat what u like without being forced into eating something you didnt want to


    i am going for a chinese buffet on thursday....i used to really look fwd to things like that but now i am dreading it...

    Special occasions are like any other occasions, I eat healthy but won't deprive myself something NOT healthy if it fits in with my calorie goals

    If it's an event with lots of variety, like a family affair or buffet, I take tasting sizes of everything I might like and try them. The things I really enjoy I get a small serving of. Going out for brunch or dinner at a restaurant I order what I really want and find a way to fit it into my calorie goal for the day. If I can ask myself if it's worth it and honestly answer yes I'll find a way or be over one day. I have just stopped eating things that aren't worth it so I have a bit more room to play calorie wise...no more soggy fries, salty veg, or tasteless bread just because it's there.
