My husband and I went his brother's engagement party at his fiancee's house.

Everyone there were absolutely wonderful. When I walked in I was stopped short by seeing hundred (I MEAN HUNDREDS) of different foods and treats lined up all around the room.

I'm usually the type to grab a plate and dig on in and keep shovelling, and shovelling until I'm about to burst.

After being prompted over and over to grab a plate, eat, eat, eat, eat (their culture is big on eating!!!!) I decided to grab a few things and just nibble.

I didn't pig out. I stayed with one plate and just nibbled over a few hours to make it seem like I ate more (to them, so they weren't offended).

Instead of drinking the punches and hi calorie drinks, I stuck with a can of gingerale

Way to handle your business. Congrats.

That's always a difficult situation to handle. Way to go!

OKay I have to admit... I did have a beer as well LOL

It was some sort of Expresso beer... kinda nice, my brother in law was begging me to try one.

Hey what's one beer when you stayed in control like that? You go girl!
