Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Whats the best way to handle a social event dinner that includes pasta, meatballs and lots of wine if you are really into eating healthy? I dont want to come across as a boring, dull person, but yet I dont want to ruin what I have worked so hard to get to. Do I just succomb to the pressure and eat and drink with the rest of em?? By the way, its a dinner party at a friends house, not a restereaunt.

Nothing will ruin your hard work in moderation. There is no reason you have to eliminate everything life has to offer.
Eat before you go, so you are not starving. Eat a small amount, have 1-2 glasses of wine and sip them slowly. Drink lots of water while there too.
PLAN on this event throughout the day - workout extra hard, really watch the calories, and food choices this day. Take this meal as the weekly cheat meal.
This is also a great reason to have Glucorell-R with you ... it is great for cheat meals.

That's ma girls 
This is one of the many things I have done in the past ...
went out , had fun, ate too much, drank too much, enjoyed the pasta, OMG Pasta
, popped innumerable Glucorell & Sesapure (before during & after the festivities), had a cardio fest day of & Day after feeding frenzy, felt like I was Violet from Willy Wonka, wanted to 
but COULDNT even if I tried, carried the excess for water 3 days post binge and felt like crap the whole time ... "I'll never do that again..." Is something we all say ... 
For me, I just avoid situations like that but that is why I have no social life right now which is FINE with me.
Right now in my training, I cannot just have one, a sip, a taste ... my moderation has gone out the window b/c I am ALWAYS hungry and I blame the added muscle & other 'adjustments' I am going through. If I go out, I'll make sure it on a cheat day or bring my water & precooked Chicken/Veggie and listen to others tell me how much 'will power' I have, how weird I am, "one won't kill you" , my fave is when they are all drunk and want me to train them or help them with their diet , just before the midnight run to Taco Bell / BK / White Castle ... you all know the rest.
When I have food fits, they get bad.

Not to mention
I think DG hit it right on the head - not much to add. No reason you shouldn't enjoy yourself a little.

Yes, enjoy yourself. If you were getting ready for a competition or something folks would have probably had some different feedback or ideas for you. It sounds as though you are just eating healthy and working on your fitness goals.
Live your life and enjoy it because its what you are working so hard for all the other days of the week. The pasta or _______ (insert any food/drink here) will taste so much better because you aren't eating these treats often. I always appreciated these meals so much more when my nutrition was very strict.
Have fun.
