Hello everyone,

I am currently on the induction phase (day7).....and i have a big office party tomorrow and i have to attend.....i am feeling scared to be surrounded with that much wine and food.....please can anyone help me with any strategy one needs to follow to attend social events and not fall off the wagon!
Any kind of help will be much appreciated.

Eat something before you go to the party. Drink a big glass of H20 also. When you get there take a look at what is available for food & make a plan~~improvising is key here. Get a club soda & fix a small plate. Socialize~~keep busy talking with people. Leave early if possible.

I was gonna say to eat first too...if your on day 7 already then you are probably having to remind yourself to eat because your never hungry. If you eat before you go to the party then you definitely won't be hungry enough to go eat on junk food!!

Ozlover,

The office party went perfect....as you guys suggested i ate hard boiled eggs and drank two glasses of water before i went in.....surprisingly i was quite full.....i drank sprakling water with lime.....i looked around for what kind of food was available and selected spicy chicken kababs, shrimps and cucumber....and when i started to feel tempted by dessert i excused myself and called it a night....i came out with such a great feeling.....i cant thank you guys enough.....this is probably the first time in 6 months that i went to a party and still stuck to my plan.
I even went to the gym on saturday morning.....today morning i weighed myself and i lost 3 lbs!!

I am feeling very motivated now, i feel i can really do this

How did the office party go ?

Hey Tania, Congrats on all your success at the party....that's how it's done, eat before, drink alot of water, step away from those foods calling your name and if all else fails, LEAVE!
Sounds like you are really getting into the flow of things, and stronger and stronger each day!

This is inspiring! I'm so glad you did so well!

I can relate, at a cousin's birthday, I left the room and sat by myself reading until the cake-eating was done and put away... and it felt WAY better than the cake would EVER taste!!
