Eating at Kids Birthday parties!

My son who will be turning 3 on Friday wants to have hotdogs for supper… My question is: Do I eat the hot dogs and forgo the cake or have something entirely different then the rest of the family??? What are your experiences with these situations?

How about hot dogs without the bun for you, or, if you planned to eat 2 only eat one, and half a piece of cake?

Hi Linda,
I always go for the hot dogs, but I just love them anyway. No matter what form they come in, whether regular franks, polish sausage, smoked sausage or whatever, I would rather have the hot dogs. But that is just me. I never eat the bun. If you like cake, have both. It doesn’t have to be a big piece of cake. I always slip a little bag of vegies in my purse too when it is going to be a child’s party. If I have one of my grandkids with me that can’t have the party food either I add some apple slices to the bag of food I carry with me. Never feel bad about keeping extra or specail food with you. I have done it for years for my kids with allergies. Now i do it for me too. Just enjoy the party.

i would go for the hot dog or two if really hugery its like next to no carbs like 2 to 4 depending on size. And hot dog buns likehigh 36 bun to low22 just read wrappers if not able because they recycle bin them trying getting the calorie king book. IT is a god sent book to ME! helps alot. And why not! have the cake to if still hugary and just check a hour after to two to make sure your a at a good number if to high use judgement and you may have to tweak it a little to get it were it should be good luck. Its all in trail and error. There no FORBIDDIN FOODS OUT THERE ANY MORE IN CARB COUNTRY.

Eat everything, but the magic word is VERY SMALL PORTIONS. Hotdogs should be fine, but be careful of the cake. But why think of that in a party? Just enjoy it.

Thanks for the replies… Gives me some ideas… I like the idea of eating a little of everything and I never even thought of using a wrap instead of the bun… And thanks for the book recommendation diabeticidol94. I will look into that.
