The Christmas Party - Every Bride's Nemesis

You've given yourself one year to slim down and get that Jessica Alba body you've always dreamed of having. You picture yourself looking absolutely fabulous in your wedding dress, completely independent of Spanx. You've also been invited to seven Christmas parties this year, and the chances of big eats, drinks, and spending are 100%.

What's a girl to do?

Here are some quick tips to get you through the holiday season, so that you can enjoy yourself but not become a contender for next year's office party Santa Claus... or become as broke as Mr. Crachit.

- Gin and Tonic. Yes, its pseudo name is also "The Panty Remover" BUT that all depends on how much you consume. The big plus - low in calories.

- Never have an empty hand. If it means you've been nursing the same vodka martini for the last hour, so be it. But it will also discourage others from encouraging you to get another drink.

- Leave your credit card(s) at home. Period.

- Drink lots of water during meals. Fills you up quickly. And also helps with the sobering process.

- Do not wear baby doll dresses or shirts to a party. All that room will only give you an incentive to consume more because there's more room for your belly. Ha. Not entirely serious about this one, but it's still pretty funny.
