It is totally mental. You just have to learn to make better choices, regardless of where you are and who you are with. 99% of the time there is something ok for you to eat at any given party, event, etc. You just have to stop for a second and think about what is in front of you. Easier said than done, I know, but eventually I got to the point where it was a no brainer. I still make mistakes, but am nore likely not to at those little get-togethers.

You could eat before going or take your own food, that is always a good option.

I can relate to your post; my weekend don't seem to be my own. We seem to eat out alot, and also parties to attend. I try to find the most diet compliant choices available, and watch my portion sizes. At restaurants, I either order from the kids menu if they have healthy choices, or take the majority of my meal home with me for additional meals.

At parties, I usually have a glass of ice Water in my hand, and that both reminds me to keep drinking my fluids to stay on the full side, and keeps me aware of making healthier choices with the food there.

We do have special challenges on the weekends when our daily routines get challenged, but we can still enjoy the time and experiences with forethought and planning.
