Question Whats a gal to do?

I just wanted to know how you ladies deal with food and being social. I guess I never realized just how much of life is centered around food!
Getting together with friends=Food
Meeting my sister up for dinner= Food
Hanging out with my husband & co-workers= Food!

AHHHH!! FOOD FOOD EVERYWHERE!

How do you all deal with the temptation & the social aspect of food?

I do have my cheat day, but sometimes things pop up and BAM before I know it Im stuck going to 4 different dinner functions in 1 week! I dont care so much about the looks I get when I say I cant have something, but damn its hard to say no to so much! Its more the inner voice in me. Does that make sense?

I will eat at home before I hit the social event. Once I get there I might have a salad or some kind of veges. If it's all day event then I will pack a cooler and keep it in the car...I've had to do this many times for contest prep.

Got it, but what about when things pop up out of the blue and completly ruin your eating/workout schedule?

Protein bar in purse?? (which I do always carry)

You could, though I'm not a fan of protein bars. Don't laugh but I've packed small bags of sliced chicken breast, even steak, almonds, fruit...works in a pinch!!

Usually, I'll just have a salad and LOTS of water (or diet coke if I"m really craving something) but I always have some almonds and protein powder in my car, along with pouches of tuna and cans of green beans w/ the flip top lids...lol
