Eventhough I am a Bears fan I will be watching the superbowl this Sunday and I hate to admit it but I will be supporting the Packers. I just have too many cheesehead friends :) plus I love WI - they have great BEER! Yes I said it, BEER, I love BEER - good beer, beer that is worth the calories.
Some of us who are searching for our health recipe fear parties because there is just too much temptation. Let's talk about some tricks to surviving any party that is going to have LOTS of yummy food that you may regret later if you over indulge. Here are a couple that work for me:
1. Eat super healthy all day before the party
2. Go to the party with a full stomach
3. Make sure to drink water (inbetween drinking the alcoholic beverage of your choice or soda if you don't drink)
4. Do not hang out around the food, make yourself a plate and walk away
5. Try to eat vegetables if they are there
6. ENJOY the food you are eating - eat slow, think about how the food tastes, YUM
Don't torture yourself with trying to count the calories or fat grams of everything. Being healthy is a lifestyle and it should not be painful. Maybe you have not figured out your health recipe, it takes time - keep studying yourself and be honest about what works for you.
