planning ahead worked

i have always heard that it is best to eat before going to parties so as to not overeat. i didn't really believe it until last night. my friend had a party and you know how dangerous parties can be when trying to be on a food plan. i imagined there would be fruits and vegies as well as a variety of sugary fun treats. so before i left my house i decided to put the eat beforehand idea to a test. i had a healthy tasty fulfilling meal. sure enough, i had no desire to indulge in all the savory items being served. in fact it was nice to just chat with people and not have to maneuver the holding of the drink and the food item. it all looked great but i was able to just pass it by. success. happy day 41.
