    Do what I do--Make your own sides so you know what is EXACTLY in them and you can prelog. While my mom and sister do a lot of the cooking/baking too, I have to make my own sides so they're a "lighter" version of what I'd love to eat, and I also know exactly how much of what is in that dish.

    Also, if you can, get in a workout before dinner. I know I'll plan to do my 30 day shred Thanksgiving AM so I have burned calories to make room for dessert! :-)

    Hope this helps!

    Portion size is key for me.

    I am having a girls night slash bachelorette party (in my own honor!? lol) this week, and I'm making a huge Greek dip and pita, and my best friend's bringing cupcakes...everyone will bring something tasty. My game plan is to prepare my plate of savory food with small portions and RESIST seconds, and then have ONE cupcake.

    I will probably still go over my calories and/or some of my macros for that day. But I won't COMPLETELY "blow it" like I would have if I'd just grazed during the whole party.
