The farther away you are, the less likely you are to nibble. Seventh, keep your portions small. Just a little amount may satisfy your taste for some foods. Eighth, go for the low-calorie foods. Try boiled shrimp with cocktail sauce or lemon, or maybe raw vegetables with a little dip.
Fruit also is a good choice.
Ninth, bring a healthy dish to covered-dish suppers. That way you'll know there's something you feel good about eating. Tenth, share you food with others. Try a bite or two of a gooey dessert and pass it on to family and friends. Remember, even if you do overeat, you can always increase your physical activity.
