Ah, the age-old boggle; how do you survive a holiday party without porking out on garbage food?
My second-favorite method is to place enough stuff on my plate to dissuade my adding anything else. How does that work? Well, I just make sure that it is stuff I would never eat; stuff I find so distasteful that if it were to touch something I would eat, I wouldn't eat it. Herring and cold lil' Smokies for example. I also make sure that I avoid high-carb drinks by sticking with water.
These props ensure that no one offers me more stuff to eat or drink simply because my plate and glass are full. With the pressure of abundantly available food and drink no longer a threat, I can focus on polishing my social skills.
We all know how much I enjoy that. Now what's your favorite way to avoid excess holiday calories?

LOL when I figure out HOW to avoid excess holiday calories, I'll be a LOT better off ;)
Right now I'm just doing the entertaining, sans sweets and goodies.
