Same here. Our biggest get get together is always on Christmas Eve with plenty of food. Bigger than thanksgiving. All my favorite foods were on the table.

I took a very small portion of everything on my plate.

I was very surprised that after eating very little, I could not have anymore.

Absolutely no effort on my part. I knew when I was finished and could to eat anymore if I wanted to.

And it did not bother me at all.

I did have plenty of wine though!

Mee tooo! I had like a tablespoon of mac and cheese, dressing, green Beans, and a small slice of turkey. My saucer looked so empty. My husbands plate was so full he couldnt put rolls on top!! I laughed at them and said I think they need to try to eat like me so they will know what its like. It was plenty, I did not overeat and yes I am on my second glass of wine!!! Happy New Year to you!!

I pretty much ate whatever I wanted today and believe me they werent healthy choices (choc. pie, mac n cheese, sweet potato casserole, gravy and stuffing, etc.) but I didnt eat a whole lot of it. I will hit the gym early tomorrow morning and again tomorrow evening. I wont feel guilty about today because that is what i would have done in the past and then I would have woken up in the morning and said "Oh well, Ive blown it now, I might as well eat." Not anymore, Its ok to enjoy a day here or there with the food and then get back on track. I hit the weight goal I had set for Christmas and made it through the holidays still losing weight. I am so happy. I think I am figuring this mess all out now!

Cindy, I hope you enjoyed Christmas with the decision you made to have an unfill. Now just get back to that healthy lifestyle that you have inspired me with.

Love all my bandster support friends! Hope you all enjoyed the holiday. Lets start the New Year off reaching our goals and continuing to live healthy, happy lives. I am gonna start mine off with a ski trip to enjoy this smaller body!!

Love you all!
