- Do not bring home a cake from the auction. Seems simple right? Well, since I am the local school board member (elected) it's kind of expected that I buy one. So, this year, I'm either going to buy one and give it away or not buy one at all.
- Eat before I go to the festival. I have some 98% Fat Free hot dogs and whitewheat buns at home, so I'm going to eat one of those and then eat again when I get home afterward if I'm still hungry.
- Drink water. I think if I drink water while I'm there, that will keep my hands and mouth occupied and I'm pretty sure I'll be too busy with the kids to be too hungry.
- Pack a bag. On the off chance that I do get hungry, I'm going to pack a Vita Top (those are so filling to me!) and an apple in my bag.
- Treat myself. I am going to allow myself one treat. They are serving sliced apples with caramel dip so I bet that's going to be it. I'll go light on the dip, but still have some "festival food".
With all of the fall fairs and festivals coming up, I think we all need to think and do a little pre-planning in our heads on how to handle these events so that we don't fall off the wagon. I think it's important to go into things like this with a plan. Also, if I forget why it's worth it, I always have my **insert HUGE smile here** new Size 4 jeans. :) I went shopping and was sooo excited when the 6s were too big.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Scroll down for 30 Day Shred Challenge and giveaway details!

Size 4 - WOOHOO!!!! You sexy hot mama!
You have a plan for tonight - it will work wonderfully. If you must buy the cake, give it to someone who will really enjoy it.
Vitatops, everyone raves about them. I've gotta find some.
i have never heard about these Vitatops, What are they? I think you have a great plan! I will have to use some these strategies for my up coming weekend. I think having a back up plan is always great too!! I know you can do it
size 4! :) Love your tips! I am going to use them. :)

You can do it, Melissa!!!!! You have a plan, and that's more than most people have walking into a festival situation. :)
Woot woot! Size 4 is FABULOUS! Congratulations Melissa!
If it's expected of your elected office that you'll buy a cake for the auction, I say buy a cake at the auction. Give it away (if possible) but if not toss it. You don't have to eat it just because you bought it.
It seems like you've got solid plans for the Festival. Good luck!
EEEE...I say just donate the price of a cake to the auction and don't take the cake. That way, they get TWICE the money if the cake sells to someone else who will buy it and eat. Cake-ness aside, the thought of throwing away food just kills me...there are starving kittens in Iraq!
Congrat on your new size !!!! That feels amazing doesn't it ? Your plan sounds great ! Good for you for planning ahead !!!!! It takes a little time but it is so worth it !
I have something for you on my blog!!!
I've got basically NO willpower when it comes to things like festivals. :) Your cake looks FABULOUS!!! And, thanks for the comment on my blog...so nice to "meet" you! Lofthouse cookies are my son's fave. I try to get rid of them by taking them to his Grandma's for him to eat there, but these have been sitting on my counter for awhile. ;)
