Hi Deeray, special occassions and parties are # 1 on my list of reasons to abandon this wol.
Overall, its just not worth it. Soooo, what I do is bring something to the party like a big creamcheese- onion dip, some cut up veggies, or maybe a plate of cheese and pepperoni and a 6 pack of mic ultra light.
That way, I'm eatting, I'm partying and basically, still sticking with the plan. Just plan ahead , think thin and don't stress about it. Theres ways to eat, have a good time and fit in with the rest of the party goers. Good luck! flutterbye
