How to maintain your waistline while still being social.

So I am writing this in the car on the way to a wedding,and decided I wanted to do a quick entry about how to keep your self on track while in a social situation such as a wedding. So here my tips when it comes to keeping your diet in check while out.

1. Eat breakfast,it helps start your day off and helps you from overeating.

2. Eat a healthy meal or snack before leaving for your event, you never want to go somewhere there will be temptation on an empty stomach(such as the grocery store!).

3. Plan accordingly,if you know your going to indulge scale back your other calories threw out the day.

4. Don't skip the veggie tray! As a matter of fact hit the veggie tray 1st! Fill up on veggies and leave less room for the goodies.

5.Lean protein,if you have a choice between a steak and a chicken breast go for the breast! It is a great source of low fat protein which will do a great job at feeling you up, but watch out for creamy sauces, because they can pack a fat punch.

6. Sample, when it comes to the desserts of appetizers remember it only takes a little to be truly satisfied. Try using a small plate and trying small portions of your favorite goodies.

7. Water! Drink lots of it because it keeps you hydrated and full. A lot of the time you think your hungry but really your thirsty.

8. Drinking,all I can say on this subject is try light beers and substituting diet soda for regular.

9. Last but not least have FUN! While you want to maintain your waistline you also want to maintain your social life, I mean who wants to be fit and friendless? If you do overindulge just learn from your mistakes do 10 hail Marys and try again next time!
TA TA for now-smooches!
