I tell myself I have three choices:

1. Indulge and feel guilty.
2. Resist everything and be proud of my willpower.
3. Hit the gym in the morning, and eat the calories back at the party.

Works for me!

Eat a meal before you go and drink a lot of water through the night. If they have fresh veggies go for it and lean meats. Im not sure if you're on any restricted diet but try to keep your portions small if you want to indulge. Then next morning have hot water and lemon and 8oz of water before eating breakfast.

eat a little something before you go....indulge a little...maybe workout a little extra tomorrow or the next day. Only have something if you feel you absolutely must have and and itd be worth it. Drink water throughout the night.

1) Don't plan ahead to make room and indulge however much you want and feel guilty?
2) Plan ahead and enjoy yourself?
3) Bring your own food?
4) Small portions?
5) Think, is this worth it?

Eat beforehand, and limit yourself to one drink, and stick to clear liquor with diet mixers (vodka soda is always my staple)

Here's what I think-- social events are part of life, and they are fantastic. Our food ties food--particularly unhealthy food-- with socialization, and that is something that, if you want to maintain a weight loss, you have to learn how to seperate those things. Just because you don't eat the junk food, doesn't mean you can't have fun!

if you do find you can't resist that pie or cookie or whatever, have one bite, and really savor it. That one bit will taste exactly the same as the 50th, so just enjoy that and stay on track!
