Never show up super-hungry. Eat something light before you head to the party.2. Wear fitted party clothes. Doing so will help keep you from shamelessly stuffing too much food down your gullet!3. Drink 1 to 2 glasses of water right before or right after you arrive at the party. This will help you feel fuller and curb cravings.4. Don't eat anything during your first 20 to 30 minutes at the party. Mingle, socialize, and don't stand on top of the food.5. Don't get caught empty-handed. Always have a drink in one hand (stick to no-cal beverages for most of the night!) and maybe a little clutch purse in the other. This way you'll be less likely to graze, because your hands will be full.6. Don't deprive yourself. It's okay to enjoy some treats, just remember to do so in moderation.7. Make a deal with yourself. Only after eating 5 pieces of something «good» (like veggies from the veggie tray), allow yourself to indulge in one piece of something «bad» (like cookies or candy). You'll likely fill up before you even hit round 2 of the bad stuff!8. Watch what you drink. Eggnog, spiced cider, and hot cocoa can all be diet-busting disasters and a complete waste of calories. You are better off reaching for water or other no-calorie drinks.rockin' restaurant spinach dipPER SERVING (3 heaping tablespoons): 72 calories, 1g fat, 310mg sodium, 9g carbs, 1g fiber, 4g sugars, 7g protein This dip is so good, it may actually bring tears to your eyes.
