Like if you're craving bread, go for whole grain instead of white. You're body uses more calories to burn whole grain than white. Also, Make a sandwich with one slice instead of two and top if it off with tomatoes, lettuce, sauteed veggies in olive oil etc. I heard before that not all carbs are bad.

If the answer is no, or not at least pretty close, I don't bother. If needed, I dig out a piece of really good dark chocolate from my purse and savor it. I always stick in a piece when I'm going somewhere that temptation will also be.

I think it's more appropriate to CHALLENGE thoughts, as in asking yourself, "Is this an actual celebration (ie, birthday, wedding, Christmas), not just a 'get-together'?" Then, going further, and making sure that any food that you don't normally eat is properly portioned (ie, a slice of cake, not two or three).

My favorite <a href="http://www.fitnessalist.com/toning-woman-tips-use-tv-time-wisely.html/" rel="nofollow">toning woman</a> tip to stay motivated is to prep everything - cut up veggies, cook chicken/fish, portion out nuts/cheese for snacks - in an hour or two on a Sunday. Then put everything in reusable containers or baggies, group 1 days' worth of meals together in the fridge, and you can just grab and go in the morning and when you get home from work.
