What do we do when we have to go to parties where there is going to be very good (but bad) food, and lots of booze? We plan. I ate as I normally do all day, I looked at the points I had left over and realized that I had low point meals all day. So I knew I had some wiggle room when it came to snacking and beer intake! I also brought my own snack. My 94% FF popcorn, along with some Heineken Light! I knew I could have four beers and still be within my points goal for the day.
First off, I paced myself. I went with the mindset that I could eat what I wanted at the party. Going in with that idea I immediately hit up the veggie tray! (Thanks fellow WW'er Sam for bringing that!) I didn't even touch anything else. It felt good. I left with 4 Lite Beers in me and when I got homeI had a couple pieces of turkey wrapped inside a slice of FF cheese! YUMMO!
It's all about planning and tricking your mind. If you go in to something thinking you can't do this, you can't do that, you can't have this, you can't have that then that is what we all immediately go and do. I did the opposite. I said it's a party, you have extra weekly points; if you need 'em you need 'em. I wasn't going to deprive myself of anything. So I went in, and didn't have anything bad! GO ME!
So my saving grace this weekend was my Heineken Light! It was great. I would like to say thanks to my buddy Kimmy for throwing such a fantastic Halloween Party. Joe and I looked pretty Zexy with our cod-pieces in as Batman and his Boy-Wonder Robin! Guess who I was?
In-laws should be here in 40 minutes and counting. I need a beer! LOL.
