So, you’re out and about at a restaurant or social gathering and there are so many temptations in the way of food. How do you say “No” to all of that?

Here are a few easy-to-do tips:
• Eat before you go. Yes, ruin your appetite. So many people go to a wedding or event starving because—in their head—they hear their mother saying,” Don’t spoil your appetite! There’ll be food there!!” Well, eat a half a sandwich before you go. (Sorry, mom.)
• Lie. Say that you’re allergic! Or lactose-intolerant. Or something. Yes, lie about it. Then, eat something healthy… or not at all!
• Tell someone. If you mention to a friend that you can’t eat a certain food, you may be just too self-conscious to eat it.
Okay, now go have some fun.
