Hi Bill. It is tough when everyone around you is eating and drinking and you have to limit yourself. My advice is to make sure you eat a decent meal right before going. That way you will not be hungry at least. Also, bring your own drinks. This way you will not have the excuse that there was nothing there that fell into the health option. Also, I would prepare a couple of healthy snacks that you can keep in your car, just in case. Then focus on your friends and the conversation. If you are with a group of people that are doing more eating than talking, move on to another group and rejoin them after they have finished their food. And just remember why you are on this journey. Repeat it like a mantra to remind yourself why you are saying no to the things that got you here in the first place. Good luck!
