Just go, have fun, and let everyone else eat the stuff you can't. (I also find it helpful to give myself a little pep talk beforehand and rephrase my thinking, ie, "I could probably eat some of X, but would I like the consequences of doing it?" If I tell myself I CAN'T have something, invariably I want it.)

At the very least, have something to eat before the party, so that you aren't actually hungry. Maybe mingle holding a glass of a favorite beverage. In situations that I can't eat what's served, I've learned to talk more :-)
If I don't I might eat first and sip a drink at the party. My husband constantly reminds me that unless your at a sit down type dinner, most people won't know what or if you're eating. For the most part that is very true.
Go and have a great time.
