    usually the first one is a salad course. eat it without or with very little dressing. Eat your veg. eat some protein, preferably lean. stop eating when you are full, and don't worry about sending back full plates or refusing them outright if you don't want the temptation of it in front of you. People do that all the time at weddings. For one thing, eight courses will probably stretch for 2-3 hours. People move around, dance, talk, socialize, they aren;t always in their seats to eat each course. Be wary of the multiple desserts.

    Alternately, do what many suggested and take the day off, enjoy yourself and work harder next week.

    Have fun!

    I think it is important to learn how to eat socially. I try to go to most of the events I'm invited to. If it's to a restaurant I go on line and

    check out the menu and try to plan what I eat. If I don't know what is on the menu eat before you leave your house so you are not

    starving, then do your best and have a good time. Splurge o the wedding cake and maybe a drink. Go to the gym tomorrow and

    have a good time. All you can do is the best you can do.

    Eat everything on your plate, drink all the alcohol. Dance some of it off on the dance floor! I love weddings

    EDIT: And, unlike others have suggested, try to log everything. One of the courses is probably going to be a salad so that helps too. Also, do NOT eat the bread rolls and butter on the table. DO NOT DO IT

    I would recommend trying to one-up your food calories with your alcohol calories. Bonus points if you're double-fisting beers.

    1) Before you go to the wedding, write in your notes section of your diary "at a wedding" log the day and forget it. Day over as far as logging is concerned.

    2) Go to wedding.

    3) Eat a bit of everything. Drink some champagne. Tell the bride she is beautiful and tell the groom he is a lucky man.

    4) Enjoy. Have a dance or two if you want. Boogie the night away if you are inclined to do so.

    5) Get up the next day, have some headache tablets to fight the champagne demon and begin logging again.

    Eat and enjoy. One special occasion isn't going to break you. Just eat smaller quantities

    Kick the groom, insult the bride's mother and make sexy eyes to the bride. You'll get kicked out before the meal. Write a movie deal and not worry about you weight ever again.

    Or just eat.

    Don't sweat it. It's a special occasion. Get back on track the day after.

    This is what I would of said, in more words, probably.

    I'm trying to figure out what an 8 course meal would entail as I've never even heard of one bigger than 4 course (soup, salad, entree, and dessert).

    I have found no one really notices what I am eating or doing at a function like this. If you are lucky, life will happen for another 50 or more years. Please enjoy the day and eat until you are happy (not full!)

    The bride and groom, or their families, put out a lot of money for YOUR enjoyment! Enjoy!!

    You can always tack on a 1/2 hr of extra exercise each day for a week if it makes you feel better.

    I hope you have a lovely time! I will be checking for the drunk posting:laugh:

    I usually try to bank my calories when I know I'm going out. I eat small snacks during the day and then one big meal at the event. Seems to work for me. It's easier to limit myself at home so I can eat what I want when I go out:)) Good luck!

    Make healthy choices, given what your options are.

    Drink water, tea, coffee, or other very low calorie beverages.
    Skip the bread.
    Small helpings of carbs
    Big helpings of meat and veggies
    Small desserts.
    Don't put dressing on your salad and skip the butter

    Enjoy yourself. It' s just one day.

    Either say "screw it!" and enjoy the wedding, no worries!

    OR

    If you feel the need to log, take pics of all your plates prior to eating off them. Any one asks say you are photo journaling. I tried it at our last party at work, and that really worked for me. Then even in a drunken stupor, you will remember what you ate :laugh:

    ETA sorry about the double post, I am uploading to YouTube which has apparently freaked my laptop out. Or perhaps this is MY drunken post... :wink:
