  • I need advice here folks....

    I wasn't able to keep my hands off the little wieners yesterday...

    As soon as I walked into the room I knew I was in trouble...big... little wiener trouble...

    There they were right on the appetizer table....so cute...wrapped in bacon with some sort of maple coating....

    I tried to keep my hands off of them...

    The guacamole was to die for...haven't had onion dip in a couple of years, tried some with chips...yummy...

    Healthy carrots celery and radish decorated the table nicely....

    I tried them all...

    But I just couldn't keep my hands off those little wieners...no matter how hard I tried...

    I couldn't lock myself in my room....or drown my sorrows in beer....

    I was at church....

    I need advice for next year...

    How would you handle the situation?....

    Don't even get me started on the cheese....wrapped in deli meat slices...
  • if you eat one, you're lost, heh heh.

    I'd say, eat as much of the healthy stuff as you can, and keep telling yourself you can have a wrapped weenie later, later....

    that way, at least if you start eating them, you won't be as hungry.

    I feel for you. tis the season!
  • OMG those are my favorite... my saving grace is the friend that has them at her party is not going to be able to have her annual Christmas party. The 1st thing I thought about was "yeah, I won't be tempted with those little bacon wrapped sweet wieners." Dang, they have all the tastes...sweet salty. Boy oh boy I don't know if I would have survived NOT eating those. And I KNOW that I couldn't eat just one. Appetizers is a big problem for me. I would have to say I could not eat anything! Zip. Zero. Nada. And stay away from the table. Sometimes it is easier for me to do NONE vs limits.

    That is me...sorry you and the appetizers had a tangle yesterday...and it sounds like they won

    Hang in there... I don't know what I would have done if my friend had her annual Christmas party this year....whew. **deep sigh**

  • Drowning your sorrows in beer would have been a healthier choice??? Okaaaay
  • I always make my Little Smokies WITH beer in the BBQ sauce.
  • Oh those little guys are my fav!! They are evil wrapped in bacon with maple coating!
  • FYI everyone...I had zero dessert...zero!!!

    I was too full....
  • OMG I overdid it on the french onion dip and chips too.

    luckily i didn't gain any but i didn't lose any. It's soooooo good!
  • Dont feel bad EZ...most men I know have the same problem...just sayin'
  • Read the ingredient list. That might turn you off of them.

    Thanks D-Woman...most of us are in the same boat

    Exactly...shouldn't there be some sort of law?

    .... And stay away from the table. Sometimes it is easier for me to do NONE vs limits.

    That's like telling me to stay away from 3FC...no can do

    That is me...sorry you and the appetizers had a tangle yesterday...and it sounds like they won
    Not sure if they won just yet Cathy...weight still the same..may be a draw!

    JULIE it would be "lite" beer...so it's almost "free"...according to my counts anyway....

    That's what I'm saying...not my fault!

    About 10 years ago I would eat a bag of chips and onion dip for lunch...Ka-raaazzzyyyy! So glad I ditched that!

    I am crushed I was looking a bit bigger with all the swelling from hernia surgery....well...not where it counted

    There is a reason I refuse to take my glasses to parties where food is involved....ignorance is bliss...
  • Quote: FYI everyone...I had zero dessert...zero!!!

    I was too full....
    see, I would have skipped the appetizers to have the desserts.

    reading ingredients never seems to stop me. I can eat bright orange doritos.

    Yep...I act like it's a big deal that I skip dessert...been doing that my entire life even all those years at 6 foot 155 pounds...or less...sweet is not my vice....

    step away from those chips....
  • Tell yourself you can't have one until there are less than 5 on the plate. Then, short of standing in front of the plate and eating all of them at once, you can only do so much damage. Or allow yourself 4, with no dessert, and then you have to exercise for a half hour for every one over that that you eat.

    Come'on...you can do it. Look how close you are to your goal!
  • K8t-He's been that close to goal for a year or more. If he'd pull his head out his *** he'd be there. So EZ, PULL YOUR HEAD OUT YO BUTT AND JUST DO IT!!!

    And, before anyone jumps MY BUTT for being harsh. BACK OFF!!! I've been here long enough to know how it gets played. Now, I'm tired of it.

    Quit WHINING!!!
    Quit with the cutsy threads that make the ladies go, "Oh, poor baby."
    Get off your sorry, whining, two bit A** and GET 'ER DONE, DAMMIT!!!!!


    AND DO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    BTW, Still, as always, LOVE YA!!! and you know it.
