Weight gain over Xmas

Purplebunnysarah

I gained 8 lbs, roughly. In 1 week. I was down 4 lbs this morning but I expect most of the rest is real. I ate a heck of a lot of sugar cookies and fudge (both all gone now). Can't get much more concentrated calories than homemade chocolate fudge.

I'll try to eat a slightly larger deficit for the next few weeks to make up for it. If not, I guess I just lose a bit slower than I'd planned. At least I'm not likely to binge like that again until next year!

Nice outlook! Hope you enjoyed

Agreed. No point in life without joy, and comestibles are a source of joy. The gym is seeing a lot of me at the moment, given the weather here, to work it off.

I was up 13 lbs in 4 days! It was definitely (mostly) water weight for me. I've already lost 7 lbs after 2 days of getting back on track. I don't feel guilty at all because I enjoyed my holidays and I know how to get back.

If you're like me and eat healthy most of the time, you can enjoy yourself on those few times of the year you splurge. And do it without guilt!

Happy New Year!
