hi all im really dreading xmas all that lovely food ppl are going to be eating and i have to count my calories, im sure i will be ok but i hate this time of year you always end up putting loadsof weight back on.
Im sure i will be strong i have to be strong

[FONT=\"Courier]If you get into the right state of mind it isnt so bad. Dont dread this time of year, look forward to all the food you will get to taste but not gorge on. Allow yourself to enjoy the holidays but set goals for yourself. At a party I can eat one plate, but only one plate. That plate must have veggies and/or fruit on it and protein. By making a plan before you get to the party or the meal, you can make it!![/font]
[FONT=\"Courier]You can do it. You know you can. You just have to believe it![/font]

I have had the same feeling.
This time last year I gained 10 pounds. Of course,I wasnt near as serious about my weight loss as I am now...
So I am hoping that keeps me strong!!
Mine isnt so much the food, its finding the time to exercise with all the other commitments...YUCK!!!!
I guess all we can do is our best!
GOOD LUCK!!!

I\'m just gonna have to buckle down and make sure I don\'t over do like I did at Thanksgiving.

Me personally I love the holidays because you get to spend quality time with your family but I just hate all the tempting food that comes out during this season. I\'m hoping I can overcome the sweets and keep the portions low.

Just enjoy yourself.
Practice portion control and you can eat all the good things without gaining too much and you will enjoy the whole holiday too.

I will try to be strong i know i can do it. but if i fail there is always after xmas to start again isnt there lol
