Tips On Surviving Holiday Parties

by Willie Green

Colder weather means skimpy little black dresses at holiday parties. But the little black dress can be your worst enemy if you haven't been exercising. So perhaps it's time to start working out, especially if the party season is just around the corner.

Holidays mean socializing with friends and family and food. How can you keep up with all the craziness and still stick to your careful plan to slim down? Follow these tips so you can stay on track and still enjoy the party.

Try to eat before you go. Have a decent meal before you hit the scene so that you don't feel tempted to indulge in foods that don't fit into your diet.

Choose vegetables and fruits. Skip the dip and avoid the potato salad but enjoy the crudits.

Fill up with liquids. Fresh water or iced tea will keep you feeling full so you don't unintentionally ruin all your good work. You can even bring your favorite beverage to share with everyone.

Don't stand near the food. As long as you keep your distance, you wouldn't unnecessarily eat.

If you must eat, put your food on a smaller plate. You can put your food on a salad or dessert plate because it's less damaging than filling up a dinner plate.

Do a little exercise. Dance if there's dancing. If you dance for 2 hours, it will help burn off the dessert you just ate.

Keep your mouth moving and your eyes forward. If you concentrate on the person you're talking to and don't eat at the same time, there's less chance of overeating without thinking.

If your plate is loaded, put it down. Put down the plate your well-meaning hostess has filled up and walk away. Don't be bullied into cleaning your plate if you don't want to.
