My x-mas luncheon for my p/t job is coming up as well. I get the choice of prime rib with baked potato and salad or sage roasted chicken with sage stuffing and salad. I haven't decided which, but I plan just not eat the potato or the stuffing.

My advice is to eat as few carbs as possible but still indulge yourself, if there is something you especially want. I mean, it is Wolfgang Puck cooking for you, right? How often do you get an opportunity like that? However, if you really feel like you would be compromising your standards by indulging than by all means don't! I don't think anyone will be insulted if you pass on anything! They will probably be impressed at your willpower!
