    What does everyone do during the christmas period? On boxing day and christmas day do people eat lots and forget about their summer body for those days?? Or should i restrict what i eat and still count calories ??

    I go somewhere in between. I eat what I want, but listen to my hunger cues so don't eat to excess that badly or eat food just because it is there. I experience a temporary increase in scale weight and it disappears within a few weeks.

    Oh - and I am one who was born in December - New Year's Eve baby =)

    12/7 here. ;-)

    12/3 :o

    Happy (now late) birthday!

    Keep in mind it was not just one day that made you gain that weight. One day won't set you back very far. But limit it to one day.

    I will do my best not to over eat. But when I do over eat now I usually feel so crappy and sick it is a good lesson learned why not to do it again.

    My goal is to stick to my calorie goals on the days that I can more easily control.
    I have six big events that I plan to enjoy. A few of them I may loosely log, however mindful eating may be the ultimate game plan.

    I will eat until I'm on the cusp of a blackout.

    So far generally what I've done is to say "I can stay within my maintenance alotment, with flexibility on the actual macros...and this way I can enjoy every treat I wish without going over my calorie budget," and then proceeded to wake up the next morning splayed naked in the midst of a swarm of half-eaten pies, a thousand wrappers worth of Christmas stocking candy and mysteriously, an empty Crave Case, wondering what the hell happened during the 24-hour food blackout and feeling...sort of dirty. But good. Goooooooooooood. (Sorry not sorry.)

    Merry Christmas!

    At parties and such I do not give calories much of a thought. I do eat lighter on non-party days this time of year.

    We have 3 December birthdays in our family and one anniversary in addition to the usual holiday gatherings. It's a lot of parties. My favorite time of the year!
