    Yep, I weigh myself every day. I went over on Saturday by 1500!! And have gained 2lb according to the scales today. I know from experience however that the scales will drop daily until my official weigh in Friday. It has made me feel a bit down seeing the gain, but I find weighing myself everyday day makes me work harder and cut more calories if I need to if the scale isn't going the way I want it too for Fridays weigh in. X

    Exactly this for me too :smile:

    I didn't go over my calories. Just had one portion of each item on the table then called it a day for food. It was hard, but this morning when I was lighter than yesterday it was well worth the extra hungry hours.

    Hungry hours on a holiday? I don't go hours feeling hungry on a normal day let alone a holiday, I'd be seriously cranky

    I am trying to stop viewing holidays for their food. Its about family and tradition, not eating more than any other day.

    Because for some it's not torture, it's fun to learn how your body does things and use that knowledge when you're at maintenance instead of freaking out and riding the yoyo again every time your weight goes up a pound.

    Yes the holidays should be more about family and tradition... but why are you going hours being hungry normally was more of my question. Only time I was really hungry for hours was when I was just starting and thought being overly restrictive on my intake was the best way to go, luckily I learned quickly that is not necessary.

    True for "some" but unfortunately, for many others (as seen on a regular basis in forum postings), it can be an unhealthy fixation/obsession.

    I weigh myself once every 3 days (even after a big feast/holiday). Why? I'm not totally sure. That's just what I do. I like how my weight graph comes out looking like a descending staircase.
