It's a struggle to be sure those first few holidays. So much of our lives revolve around food... Try and keep things as normal as possible. Stay busy stay focused and concentrate on the new you!!! You got this!!

I'm doing it by making Easter Brunch. I love to cook and make new foods so my family are the test subjects. I get through it by doing the cooking and presenting. I'll make a selection of healthy choices and throw in a couple not so healthy. I'm putting little cards on the buffet by each food with the calorie count per serving. I'm only 4 1/2 weeks out so this is my whay of participating in the meal. It makes me feel good and my family gets excited to see what new foods I can put together.

My whole family is supportive but I don't like them to feel deprived since they don't really need to loose. Last night I made blueberry lemon yogurt drop Cookies... only 35 calories and they loved them.

I still fix anything and everything! I have 3 teens and a husband at home and when I thought about it, if I quit cooking the stuff they liked I was more tempted to cheat. Since I still make their Desserts and foods they like I dont cheat or feel the need to.... smelling it is enough for me and I have even started to branch out and fix different recipes too!
