Christmas Parties
17 12 2007I had an office Christmas party at lunch today, and I’m going to my husband’s Christmas party tonight. Both are mostly finger foods, which I find so much easier to navigate with WW. At lunch I hit up the fruit and veggie trays full force and ate a slice of turkey on a small roll. It was easier just not to put wings, fudge, brownies, and spinach dip on my plate. Those things don’t really do anything for me anyhow (unless it were wings at a restaurant or homemade brownies, which neither were). Tonight will be more homemade fare, which will be a little more difficult. But usually in crowds, as long as you have something to drink in hand, people aren’t paying attention to how much you eat, which could be good or bad. Last year, the crowd gave me an excuse to revisit the buffet over and over again. NOT THIS YEAR! I’ll just get a few spoonfulls of good, holiday goodies. Kim, leave the routine stuff alone- choose your battles wisely! Good luck to everyone else facing holiday parties. I’ve got 2 more on Thursday!
Good for you…I BLEW it hard at a holiday party last Friday. I had exercised and shoveled that day and used it as a license to binge. I had martinis, I had yummy sour cream dips, I had bread and bread and crackers. I had it all. And I paid for it at the scale today. Your head is in SO MUCH a better place than mine was. I am trying to pull it together for next week!
Good job and good luck!
Good job on those holiday parties! I have been dealing with the same thing this week! Keep up the good work!!!!!
