Hi Everyone :flowerforyou:

I'm going to a wedding today! How do I count the calories of the finger foods I know I will eat??? The wedding is at 2 in the afternoon. I plan on skipping dinner if I eat too much. I'm really wondering how I record this.

Thanks for your reply in advance... :drinker:

    Just try to count what you eat. If you eat 6 crackers, enter it in here. Try to avoid the snack-y stuff like candies on the table if you know you'll just keep popping them throughout the day because a little bite every couple minutes really adds up.

    I went to a fancy banquet last weekend where they had servers coming around with appies for an hour before dinner. I only ate two out of about 8-10 that were offered to me. It was tough for sure especially when everyone around me was telling me how i "had to try this one - it's so good!". I recommend eating those little bites with even littler bites and really savour them and make them last as long as you can instead of popping them into your mouth. Then don't grab another one until the taste of the first is completely gone from your mouth. And drink lots of water!

    But most importantly, enjoy yourself and forgive yourself!! At least weddings don't happen every day!

    Hi :flowerforyou:
    The wedding went off without a hitch! It was beautiful and we had a ball! I had coffee for breakfast and worked out for an hour. Then I ate until I was full. I did my best at counting the calories. Around 1890 or so.

    I'm going to bed hungry and tired!

    Glad you had fun! It's all worth it, cuz in life all that matters are the good times and good memories! (You won't remember what you ate or didn't eat - you'll remember the fun!)

    Happy Sunday!
