Worrying about gaining in the run up to Christmas

I've been doing so well so far but worrying about Xmas! I love baking and eating loads of yummys at Christmas ( cheese, pâté, crisps!) any advice on how to fight the temptations? Xxx

Eat smaller amounts of them and log everything.

It's ok to eat the things you enjoy - you just can't eat all of them, all the time. Remind yourself that it's just food and you can have more some other time. Take the time to enjoy the foods you really love. If they are higher calorie foods, load up on plenty of lower calorie foods as well (veggies, lean protein, etc) to make sure you don't get hungry.

I'm not going to avoid the good cheese at the Christmas party. I'm going to eat it, because I like it. But I'm going to have a plate full of salad and some chicken and a smaller piece of pie. It's about balance.
