lost all christmas spirit

You could take a small plate and take a little bit of what you would like to try and then enjoy and eat it slowly. That way you don't feel left out and resentful. You want to live a sustainable lifestyle and one day won' t destroy all the progress you have made, as long as you hop back on the wagon right away. A small salad plate will limit your portion sizes to where you hopefully will not go over by too much, and you can still savor every bit of the food you chose to put on there. Drink water which will also help curb your apatite.
Merry Christmas.

A life style change is just that - a LIFESTYLE CHANGE. We cannot expect that we will never have a cookie, ice cream, sweets, etc again, but we can decide to eat in small portions and exercise for balance and a healthy lifestyle. Motivation and obsession are two different things-do not let food control your emotions-that is the beginning of eating disorders and other unhealthy mindsets. You may find that you are pushing yourself too far-letting food put fear in you is dangerous. YOU are in control. YOU can decide when you've eaten too much. YOU can choose to exercise. HIDING from food will not help you-learning how to have self control will.

well im feeling down on Christmas. I ate up all my calories through the day and well im upstairs while everyone is enjoying themselves at the table. could really use a friend, because I lost all my Christmas spirit. im trying to repress the cravings cause they have duck downstairs, caviar, rice....I could really go for a piece of duck but no calories.

anyone feel free to add me, im dieing here. I really want something but im upstairs, drinking water all night.

You are making a long term change. There are days where you should, you NEED, to let go and have some fun. Eating beyond your limits should not deter you from success. As long as you are aware what you are doing, it is a good thing to have some days off. It only becomes a problem when you go back to old habits.

ok I guess ill go, im going to bring my bottle of water and take sips.

Or you could down and eat sensibly. This is for life, you need to figure out how to make it work or you're going to fail.

lol we eat (and diet) to live, not live to eat (or diet)! you can't spent the whole of your days just eating, whatever you eat. go, spend time with your family and enjoy xmas! you'll do some sport tomorrow, get some positive feelings from what you do and you won't need to worry

It is one day...you should enjoy your friends and family...you can't derail anything in one day, it is meaningless in the grand scheme of everything. Go enjoy your friends and family. These special days with them are precious and you never know when the last one will be.

Awesome! Enjoy your Christmas!

Yesterday and today I'm over by 1200 calories easily (for each day)! It's the holiday and I'm on a 2 day hiatus. Just too much to indulge myself and, by the gods! I did!
