What ever your biggest temptation is --- bring your own modified

version! If it is the desert table --- go get some fat free cookies

and crush them to make a crust - then fill your crust with you

favorate pudding made with skim milk. Do fat and sugar seperate!

If it's a sanswich and chips kind of thing -- grab some fat free/low

cal pringles or pretzels to bring with you, and make your own sub

with healthy choice meats.

If it's bbq - bring a chicken or turky breast to throw on the

grill...do what ever you need to do. Eat a big bowl of mellon/fruit

or vegies/salad before you go so your not staraving and don't forget

to bring your water bottle. At our reunion a few weekends ago I

walked around with my water bottle and a bunch of grapes. I didn't

bother waiting till I was hungry - I just kept eating my grapes.

Vic,

Thanks for the prayrs but I ate all wrong!! I only gained a pound

though it could be worse. I will loose it though cause I am right

back on the diet! THere was so much food I think they had to give

alot of it away. My husbands distant family is soooo nice. They all

just give you huggs and complement you so much. I got complements on

my skin and and my hair and my outfit. I haven't had so many

complements in years. It's good to hear good things once n a while

it's what keeps you going. There was alot of really beautiful women

there but they were all really nice. THere is this one lady I think

she is a cusin she is almost 50 and when I saw her from far away she

looked like she was about 20. Beautiful long natural red hair perfect

tan. SHe was really nice too. THere was this one lady though who got

after me for drinking the crystal light. SHe said we need to make

sure it doesn't run out. I figure she felt I didn't need it I guess.

I do though so I drank as much as I wan'ted. She was the one who

poned about two big bags of chips and two bags of chicken on me and

wouldn't take no for an answer. I tryed to say no we don't need any

more junk food and her answer was oh just give it to the kids. Well

like they need all that either. I put it up and I will let them only

have a little everyday until it's gone. Oh and the chicken I don't

care if it goes bad. Well I ate like a pig but I had a really nice

time. It's really nice to get to see all the family. Most of them

live in south and north dakota so they came along way for this.

Michel,

You know for occasions like this sometimes its ok to just say

fudge it. It looks like you know what your doing and your back on

track so its all good. The main key is in doing something, knowing

what we did, and not regretting it and do you know why?...Because if

you dont regret it then its not an issue. You will simply begin

eating the way you usually do (healthier) and not give what you ate a

second thought. Glad you had fun and got alot of compliments.

It sure makes our lives so much better when we get them. San

San,

Thanks for saying sometimes it's ok to fudge it since I was feeling

alittle bit depressed about that 1 pound gain. I just had a cup of

coffee and am getting ready to drink some water then I plan on

getting on my exercise machine for 30 min and I know i will feel

better. You know whats weird is when I did eat yesterday I thought I

was going to throw up since my body wasn't use to that kind of fuel.

It's like putting cheap gass in your car and then it runs like crap

for days. I woke up this morning and still felt that yucky feeling.

It's hard to belive that is how I use to eat everyday and even more

of it too. In away failing in a day helps you to really see how much

you have really changed!

Michel,

I know just what you mean. I have let myself overindulge

sometimes and I can feel the difference now. I feel bloated and

lethargic and cant sleep. When I eat better I get my energy back and

don't feel like I weigh double. See its good that you splurged now

you know which way you rather feel and don't worry about the pound

you'll lose it but the feeling you gained is what counts. We have to

be real here. There will be times when I dont care what diet I'm on

I will eat whats on the table, I'll maybe eat moderately, have one

decent plate instead of 2 indecent plates but I'm gonna eat. LOL

Chin up, smile, and just move on.... Take care, San

Thanks San,

I feel the same way. If I am going to go some place where there's all

this food layed out in frunt of my face and it's a special day then I

am just not going to try to fight it. I just don't want to have too

many special days if you know what I meen!

Hi,

I do the same-- if it's a special event, I eat. I try to eat moderately,

but I don't worry about every bite of food. I have learned a few defense

strategies to help.

1) I bring a big bottle of my favorite sparkling mineral water. (This

happens to be Gerolsteiner, which is $0.89/bottle at Trader Joe's. It's

about 1 liter.) I keep that near me and pour water. That way, I have

something " fizzy " to substitute for calorie laden drinks.

2) I bring a fruit platter and a vegetable platter. That way I can eat

those.

3) I've learned to make some bean dips, which are very low in calories.

That way, I have a healthy choice that I like.

By doing this I make sure there are some low cal things I like at the

gathering. I can eat those if there is nothing else reasonable. I do eat

some of the stuff other people bring-- but having the stuff I like there

means I don't eat as much of the other stuff.

My theory is: If I can cut out 70% of the other fattening stuff other people

bring and replace it with healthy stuff I bring, I'll be ok in the long run.
