Going out of town next week-------------HELP!

I just started the whole calorie counting thing.  I love the site, it keeps me going and something to look foward to.  Well, I am going out of town May 1-5!  We are going to a family gathering and a wedding.  As u all know what that intails.........FOOD!!!  Any advice?

veggies, lots and lots of veggies, very little dressing. If you get a large plate of food, eat only half, and enjoy it! Eat smaller portions than you normally would and drink LOTS of water, (not soda or punch or alcohol). Those are my tips.

Oh yeah, and DON't hang out near the food table.

Thanks!!!!!!!!  I just got back and didnt do so great.  I guess  having just started counting calories and all..  But am back and am ready to get back on the wagon.      &nb sp;          La Kasta
