wow u have done so well on ur diet so far ! i wish i was where u r awww one day hehe. well maybe u culd take a wee pic of u at ur highest weight in your purse and everytime you want to eat something illegal look at it and remember how much better you feel for the way you are now!!!!! also eat a huge meal lol b4 you go out so you are very full , it will put u off wanting to binge on banned food, oh yeh and like every party no doubt there will be little sausages or chicken or salad, i garuntee there will be things there you can eat !!! and if thats not enough just walk about with a smug look on your face as you watch as ppl fill up on junkie crap food , u knw ur doing the right thng!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxx

Take the fresh vegetable tray or the meat and cheese tray.

It's pretty simple: eat before you go so you aren't starving when you get there, and you can take your time picking and choosing what you want to eat.

Generally, at most potlucks or buffets, there's usually a caesar or green salad, olives, pickles or some sort of veggie, cheese or meat tray.
I've never had trouble going to big dinners like that...there's always a variety of things to choose from.
Don't panic...but do eat something before you go to take the edge off.
Also, remember that the main part of going to socials like this is to be social...enjoy your friends and your friends friends...have fun!

You'll be just fine, I am sure, indeed as everybody said, be prepared and you fought half the battle !

Tomorrow you laugh over the fact you were so freaked out over it !!!!
ENJOY !!
