Christmas loss

[Fluffy_Gurl 3]

So how many of you are going to be focused on losing over the holiday?

How many of you are just going to pray that you dont gain anything?

how many are just going to do their best, but may cheat a little?

As a lifestyle change, which is what the band is right? I am not planning on gaining, hope i will lose, but still plan to enjoy some of our holiday traditions. such as...we eat rubens for christmas dinner, i plan on having some corned beef with a little cheese maybe a cookie for desert. I am not going to deny myself everything and be miserable that icant enjoy holiday traditions in my family. Will i be more careful aboutthe amounts of what i am eating and avoid most of the sweets? yes for sure!

Whats your plan for sucess over the holiday?

I completely agree with you! I have not had a fill yet and I go back to the dr on the 21st, hoping he will give me one. It would be so easy for me to gorge myself like I do every year. But like you said, it is different this year. I know my limits, and I will not deny myself. I just know to be more careful.

Seeing as I can't eat anything other than mush (hopedfully starting next week) until after the New Year I'm going to be losing. There won't be any little cheats for me, I will actaully go the entire month of December on a liqud diet. I will be ok with it once its's over, but right now it freaking sucks, my family is at a dinner party eating prime rib and I'm at home drinking a Protein Shake, so I don't make anyone uncomfortable.

On Christmas Eve I plan on having "a taste" of yummy appetizers if I can rate it a 10. I may have just one bite and let my husband finish it. Christmas Day I again will enjoy a bit of everything I love, stopping at 1 bite unless its packed with Protein. Bring on the Swedish meatballs.

I'm not gonna worry about it cuz I know my new BFF will be there to help me out...I will just take it easy and eat what my body needs not what my brain wants....

I am being very strict on myself so no treats for me even though they are everywhere! I am trying to get my last 15 lbs off and did liquids for a few days and then went on very strict food plan. I have to do it right now as I am in the right frame of mind to do it. So I will not let myself feel deprived as I am choosing this. It is not always easy to get in the right mind frame so I have to take it when I get it. But over the last 17 months I have had my little treats too! So enjoy!!

This wont work for everyone, but I will be alone this holiday as my only son is in Kuwait. Rather than cook massive amounts of food I have decided to spend in on a 3 day liquid diet to see if it will speed up my loss.

If my son can eat Holiday Meals Ready to Eat, I can stand being back on liquids for 3 days.

My heart goes out to you. I only have one son too and that must be so hard on you. I am thankful he is protecting our Country what a sacrifice your whole family is making for all of us. It will be my prayer that your son and you no matter how far apart will have a good Christmas and that God will watch over both of you until you are together again!!
