Are you tired of eating everything in sight from Friday to Sunday waking up feeling fat, bloated and hating yourself on Monday? Well, welcome to the human race. I was at a birthday party recently and watched everyone pick at food constantly, then complain about feeling stuffed. It took me back to many years ago and how I felt at parties. Either I ate too much and felt stuffed or ate nothing until I got home, then the flood gates would open and I ate everything. I knew even then that there had to be a better way!
The next day while working with one of my clients, she told me at a major concern, she was invited to a dinner party and was scared to death she would start binging again. After many years of struggling with food, “Judy” had finally started eating healthily, exercising and losing weight. Once in front of her friends and faced with her enemy, food, she was afraid her commitment to take care of herself would disappear and she would start eating everything.
I understood exactly how she felt. I asked her to describe how she would look shoveling the food into her mouth. Once she started describing herself she stopped and said, “No one is putting the food in my mouth only me. I have a choice and my commitment to be healthy is stronger than anything else in the world.”
We brainstormed about different tools to make sure she had fun at the party and without sabotaging her healthy choices. By implementing the ideas below, Judy was able to stay on her diet and enjoy herself at the party. Afterward, she sent me an email saying, a miracle Had happened. By using the ideas we discussed she was able to stay on her food plan and had a fantastic time at the party.
1. Never go to a party hungry.
2. Take a bottle of water to the party and drink it before eating.
3. Talk to at least three people before eating.
4. Don’t sit near the food.
5. Always have a salad in your car in case no salad is served.
5. Take only a small amount of each type of food, and plenty of salad.
6. Have fruit for desert.
7. Never go back for seconds.
8. After you finish eating, take another bottle of water and socialize with the guests.
9. Don’t stay late.
10. As soon as you get home, do something nice for yourself.
Next time you go to a party, try some of these ideas and let me know what happens.
