THE IMPORTANCE OF PLANNING

I have a wedding anniversary and a birthday in the next week! WOOHOO!!
That means wining and dining.
All it needs is a little bit of planning to prevent any weight gain and still have what you want.
It's important NOT TO STARVE yourself all day if you are going out for a meal.
EAT SENSIBLY throughout the day. Stick to fresh fruit in the morning and a large plate of salad for lunch - avoiding salad cream and mayonnaise!
Have a snack late afternoon such as nuts and dried fruit. Or, if you can, make a juice, using 4 large carrots, 2 apples and 2 celery sticks. Add a little water too if you wish.
This will prevent you being so hungry when you get to the restaurant that you dive into the bread - fatal!
Consider having a starter or a dessert - not both. Or share.
Also, drink one glass of water for each alcoholic drink so you are not dehydrated.
Having said all that, DO NOT DEPRIVE YOURSELF. Have what you fancy, but go straight back to your healthy eating the next day.
The important thing is to ENJOY THE OCCASION..........and I will!!
