Who feels nervous about breaking their new dietary routines when attending parties or events My company's Summer party is tonight and I'm nervous about consuming too many calories as far as alcoholic beverages and snacks..

    You could try eating before. Walking around with a water or light beverage. And focusing on socializing/networking, place yourself far from the food.

    Just some suggestions.

    I don't get nervous anymore because I know I consume too many calories at parties/events due to snacking/drinking. I treat it as a day off and get back to my grind the next morning.

    Thanks guys! all good and valid points. I guess I'm just a tad nervous about reversing all of my hard work, but when I think about it logically, I've had a small cheat meal here and there and haven't gained a pound back. thanks for helping me put this into perspective!

    You're not going to reverse all of your hard work unless you've only been working hard for 2 or 3 days.

    If you can get back to business the next day I'd say relax and have a good time. Being 100% perfect 100% of the time is not reasonable nor is it desirable.

    Try to keep a glass of water in hand at all times. Will help curb the urge to eat if you are constantly drinking water. Works for me. :) Helped me survive my nephews b-day party.

    Parties are a time to take a small break and eat a few things that you usually would not. Just do it in moderation and get right back the next day. It helps me keep my sanity.

    I do.

    To counter that, I eat a moderately sized meal before and I only eat very small amounts at the party.
