Well tonight is my first challenge since beginning WW - my partners christmas party! I've been feeling a bit anxious about it, because I know that sometimes dining out can be a challenge for me, and it's hard not being completely in control of what's on offer.

It's at a steak restaurant, but I've had a peek at the menu and grilled chicken is on the menu - so that sounds like a good choice! I'll stick to water and maybe a coffee instead of desert. I've been to the gym today and I'm making sure I stay on track today!

How do you all deal with situations like this? I have the Eating Out Guide, but i'm not sure I'm going to be able to calculate the points very accurately for tonight. I'm sure that if I stay focused I should be able to get through this okay

As long as you want it,you will done fine I dont have really any parties going on,but I dread having to deal with it.Good luck and Im sure you will don fine

Swirlystar - You have already taken control by making a plan. Try only eating half of the main course and take the leftovers home for lunch tomorrow. Great job, keep up the good work.

you need a plan. mine is to eat what i want but use my head and not go overboard....

Okay well I don't think that I did too bad at all. I didn't overeat and I just had one small glass of wine, and I skipped the entree. I did go over in my points for the day, but hopefully I'm doing pretty good. I guess my first weigh-in will be the judge! Thanks for the support!
