I know what you are saying. My first 2 wks on FF, I was confronted with a few family parties (all catered!) I managed to survive the two weeks by preparing myself. I brought along my own salad dressing, apples with cinnamon, my cranberry water and small bags of sliced veggies. If I was there through dinner, I brought along my own chicken and salad. It will work out just prepare yourself to be ready!
