    But not for dieters! How is everybody planning to cope with the food and drink avalanche that will be thrust upon us in a couple of weeks? I belong to a family that don't conceive gatherings, no matter how small, without a glass of wine in one hand and a canape in the other! And Im so feeble...:-(
    Before anyone says "just tell them no" , think of my family as the family in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, lol.
    Any coping strategies?! Thanks!!

    I try to do my best on the other days.
    Eat before you go.
    I'm used to being 100% when I do this, but this time I've had off-diet days!! Unexpected parties, and a bad cold this last week. At least I'm not gaining weight!

    Whenever I know that I'll be around delicious, unresistable foods, I'll eat something healthy and filling about an.hour before I go. That way I don't show up hungry and am able to pick and choose what really tempts me without diving face first into the buffet.


    LOL at "diving face first into the buffet"
