How do you prepare for that upcoming (eating) event?

[wiskband]

Just wondering how you all prepare for a party or gathering where there will be food?
Although, not too big of a deal (foodwise) my daughter's bday party is saturday and its at mc donalds!
Perhaps to may this isn;t too big of a deal but I was a hugh MD customer!
I'm talking 3/4 times a week. I LOVE MDEE'S!
So I have been stressing it all week.
I keep rationalizing "well I haven;t had it in so long" "I can have it this once being that I used to eat it 3 times a week" "once isn;t bad". All of those thoughts. Alhtough, afterwards I will probably be mad at myself..
Anyway how to you deal with and upcoming (food) event?

I LOVE McDonalds fries. I have not really eaten any in a few months. Today at lunch we went to the mall and the kids had McDonalds and I had Subway. I tried some their fries and they did not really apeal to me too much. The kids had leftover fries and I THREW them away. (That is amazing for me)

I don't think this has helped you any.

Renee,

I forget if your a low carber or not? Either way, the best way is to plan. Go online and look to see what they have. Pick something that fits into your program. Plan your day around the event.

You can do this, and still enjoy yourself. Good luck!

I agree, definately plan before you go. If you're doing WW, try this for your planning: http://www.dwlz.com/Restaurants/mcdonalds.html

The Chicken Bacon Caesar salad should be a good choice with the grilled chicken.

I find that if there is a certain food I am craving, such as a burger, I will order that except just get the regular cheeseburger instead of 1/4er or Big Mac. If I want some fries, I will just have a couple of my son's instead of getting myself a whole order.

My psyche damages me more for denying myself totally than my body does for having the cheeseburger or handful or fries.

Does this make sense?
