I don't know about you but I LOVE the holiday season. I love spending time with my family. I love decorations. I LOVE FOOD.
Yep, I'm not going to deny it. I didn't become overweight because I hated food. I obviously love food. So I know the top question on everyones mind . . . .
How do you make it through the holidays without gaining weight???
Everyone has their own ideas, but here is mine. (For what it's worth) :o)
I refuse to spend the little time I have with my family being panicked about what I am going to eat. Am I going to go crazy? NO! Am I going to enjoy some of my favorite things? YES!
I still eat healthy every chance I can, but when it comes time for a holiday party or family get together I don't panic. I make sure I always drink lots of water, I fill up more on protein and veggies and then I pick only 1 or 2 things that I absolutely love and I will eat a small portion of each. That way I get to enjoy myself, without making myself crazy.
My main goal this holiday season is to spend time with the people I love and to MAINTAIN MY WEIGHT LOSS. That's it. No big declaration of how much weight I will lose because for me it's more stress than it's worth. In the end I will make it a lot farther in this weight loss journey if I am smart about it. This is for life.

Sounds like a great plan. Holiday season... I am SO not worried about what I'm eating. I'm not eating total crap but if I want a cookie, damnit, I'm gonna have one! lol
This sounds like a reasonable goal-That way you can enjoy a bit and not get too worked up but not end up in a hole after the holidays. Let us know how it goes
