how to avoid eating at social events
if you are anything like me then the thought of attending an event (especially when there is always food) or having a sleepover with friends, scares you to death then this is the post for you. often times i find myself isolating and avoiding contact with people for this reason. but when we can not avoid it here are the rule and tips that i use to stay on track.
*i do not wish this life on anyone and if you are new to this the please get out while you can*
- drink tons of water or diet sodas before eating to fill your stomach up so that you will want to eat less. plus you will have to pee and that is a good excuse to leave and avoid food
- if someone asks why you are not eating much then say that you had a big breakfast or that you ate before (obvious but still want to put it in)
- also the obvious “i’m not feeling well” answer but i have over used this one and now people are more concerned so use caution w this one
- fill up on fruits and veggies. you can eat so many fruits and veggies and feel super full rather than eating one piece of bread and feeling unsatisfied
- if you know you have a social event then make that day a higher calorie day. yes, i know this is hard and can suck but it is good to have higher calorie days because it helps your metabolism and can sometimes lead to more weight loss (especially if you are platueing)
- fake a phone call and walk away to answer it
- say you are vegan, vegatarian, gluten-free, or allergic
- cut your food up a lot so it looks like more was eaten or mash it around (don’t be gross though)
- bring your own food to parties (make enough for everyone) but at least you will have something to eat that you know the calorie amount
- eat normal. i know this is super hard but it is very healthy for you and one day of normal eating will not be the end of your weight loss. try not to stress too much on it and be free for one day, if possible
- leave early (say you are sick or have a work/family emergency)
- take deep breathes and know that it will end
- if going to a restaurant then look up the nutritional values online before hand and already know what you will get (most of you probably already do this)
- over salt your food and then complain that you did that so that’s why you are not eating as you’ve lost your appetite
- take drinks inbetween each bite
- ask for a box to go because you “are so full”
- workout before you go so you have already worked off some calories
- but most of all, try to forget about numbers and be happy (blah blah blah, i know this is NOT at all easy and i can’t do it but if you could at least try💓💘)
be safe everyone! i do not recommend disorderly eating and ana tendencies but i am aware that people like me are out there so i just want to help ease anxiety over social events. love you all.
