    Keep some snacks handy so you don't get overly hungry and give in.
    Or, save some room in your calories for a treat. (Such as your one cookie a day.)
    Or, do a little extra exercise and earn enough extra calories for the treat.

    I'm going to try to have hot tea around at all times. It's healthy, zero-calorie, and having something in my hands seems to help me refuse other stuff. That tactic worked pretty well for avoiding the bread at Cheesecake Factory. :)

    It is going to be hard- there are so many temptations over this time of year and all the family (if anything like mine will be indulging) I also have the struggle as my gym are reducing there timetables for a few weeks so will not be doing the same classes I would normally.

    I plan to stick with it as i have only been back on the exercise/ gym plan for 6 weeks after having babies and really dont want to put on the little that i've lost. I am thinking lots of fun active games like wii dance party and instead of driving to the gym using my bike. I will have a great xmas but within reason. When your tempted think of the hard work so far and how you'd feel if you had a few more lbs to lose, that should be the motivation we all need.
