For now just take it one day at a time. The day your going out, make sure to have a good lunch and breakfast. Starving yourself will just make yur resolve that much weaker. When the bread comes and the other people try to get you to eat some, just remember that the pleasure form that breadstick won't be that great, while the pleasure from getting into a size 8 jeans will be wonderful and longer lasting. What really helps me when dessert comes around is to remind myself I can make the same thing at home, low carb and better tasting. Same with most the entrees. I made a chicken parmasan tonight using parmasan cheese and 0 carb bake mix as breading. Then I had it topped with ragu sugar free sauce. It was much better then I probably would of gotten at resteraunt.
