I'm going to a party today and I'm expecting a HUGE amount of food and alcohol. These people love to drink and eat (and so do I :blushing: ) Anyway, I got my workout in and I've had a pretty good week.. I'm really worried about sabotaging it all today. If anyone has any tips for me they would be greatly appreciated! hope everyone is doing wonderful!

    The fact that you already worked out is a good sign. I like to get an extra workout in when I know there will be tasty food coming my way.

    I know a lot of fans are bringing veggie trays to parties so they can eat something low cal.

    Eat something before going. Don't sit directly in front of the food. Nurse your drink (s). Concentrate on the game. GO PATS!

    I've been thinking about that a lot today. I plan on eating and drinking of course, but my plan of attack is to take a veggie tray and try to a least fill up on Veggies first. In fact, i read an article earlier that said do not go hungry to a SB party. Try to eat a healthy meal at home first (of course i know this can be hard if the party lasts all day and into the evening). The drinking part is hard. I just try not to do it. But you could try a diet mixed with something, or one of the lower calorie beers?? Oh, and I think I'll feel much better about it since I got in a pretty good workout this morning.

    Plan before you go. Take some healthy food with you. Drink heaps of water, the alcohol won't be as attractive. Have a small sample of the party food so you don't feel like you have completely missed out but then stop. It will only be an issue if you keep going. For Pizza / Desert cut the slice in half, minimise the damage. You be the winner this superbowl. Wake up tomorrow morning feeling like a champion.

    And try to remember it's about friends and fellowship-not food. The food is there, but it doesn't need to be the center of attention.

    Have fun!

    Another thing. I just took a nutritional course and the presenter mentioned that if you eat an apple before a big meal you are less likely to over eat. It's related to the fiber and a fiber rich diet helps over eating. It couldn't hurt to try.

    I am looking forward to the Superbowl party. I started 8 days ago and this is my first time to look it in the face and win. It might be my first Superbowl in 20 years where i dont drink beer. Celery and water, yummy

    drink LOTS of water...eat something before you go...and splurge a little bit...but do it in moderation. Have one or two of the things that you absolutely LOVE..but dont overdo it..nurse them, take small bites and eat slowly. That's my game plan at least, as well as having planned ahead and worked out a bunch more this week before and planning more for the week after

    I got an extra-long workout in. I'm also skipping the alcohol today and sticking with club soda.

    This year, we decided that instead of the usual chicken, chips, cheesecake and fries, we're cooking a few gourmet--and healthier--items for enjoying during the Super Bowl. So it's going to be lamb sliders, bison burger bites, stuffed mushrooms and fruit cups.

    Yep...agree!

    I just try to eat less than I used to of everything...it's one day lost, but I am back on tomorrow. I would rather lose one day and thoroughly enjoy it, than be depressed about the rest of my life and either give up or avoid the fun times.
