Went to a Party and Found it Easy to to say No

Jul 27, 2014

Birthday cake, vodka, muffins and bread sticks, spanakopita, piroshki, beer, toast rounds w/creamy spreads, crackers/cheese.... I actually said no to all these.

Fresh veggies, smoked salmon, pepper salami, olives, grilled chicken...   I said YES to these.

And it wasn't terrible or challenging. I simply told the hostess I'm on a diet and will choose selectively, and also congratulated her on a beautiful table and variety of yummies.  I ate a few hours before the party so I was physically prepared, plus drank a big glass of water prior to arriving, and having another while everyone made the first rounds of the buffet.

So many times in the past I've caved - but not this time.  I'm very happy about that.
