Actual Thread title: The **** The Diet, it's Christmas baby & I'll do what I want' thread
Anyone else as excited by this as I am?
The fact I don't gorge anymore has added even more allure to the whole thing, I look forward to stuffing my face full of all sorts of treats and sipping on some of the unhealthiest liqours money can buy! Now I know a lot of people will want to continue their diet but this topic is for those of us who don't and want to embrace gluttony even if it is only once a year (twice if you're American, Thanksgiving)
So get your knives and forks ready and tell me and all the others what you look forward to putting down your gullett this Christmas.
For me, Baileys + Coffee with Whipped Cream and a Flake!
PS: Please don't make this a debate thread, I understand why people don't want to do this sort of thing & I totally respect that but I'm not that sort of person, as the thread suggest it's for those of us who are going to pig out OINK OINK

Definitely plenty of fruit mince pies, some amazing seafood that mum's cooking for christmas lunch and the obvious millions of chocolate, wine and Bailey's that is usually consumed!
Bring on a Christmas where you can really treat yourself without being worried about putting on weight! WAHOO!0 -

During Christmas it is only unhealthy if it's not cooked properly, everything else is fair game Hell I'd probably drink Bleach if it had a festive flavour0 -
Whatever's there, I'll eat it!:bigsmile:0

lol, my Christmas dinner is turkey with all the trimmings (no healthy option boiled potatoes, must be roasted), followed by mince pies with cream, cheescake, apple tart with cream, and chocolate. All that washed down with a lot of pina colada (weird I know)... oh, and I've got two celebration tins too... and a chocolate log...
:bigsmile:0 -
Cheese muffins for brekkie, along with buck's fizz
full veggie christmas dinner including pudding and custard
buffet style dinner with loads of party food - think cheese, pastry and maybe a salad for some colour!
All interspersed with copious amounts of different types of alcohol.
I said i will log it all just so i can shock myself! My aim by logging is to keep it in my mind that I'm not going mad, just allowing myself things I wouldn't normally. Before I would just shovel it all down regardless of whether I'm hungry. I think that has changed......Will let you know on Boxing Day!0 -
I'm in!!!
My boyfriend's mum just said: "Oh Inge won't eat that much because she is being healthy." Well, she'd better not watch my plate! And lots of wine!
Oh and did I mention that I just ate 8 Lindt Lindor chocolates.. never had them before but OMG they are the best ever! Maybe i'll just have number 9... it's almost Xmas after all0 -
If you cant forget the diet for a couple of days at christmas when can you!!!
bring it on i say!
xx0 -
Warm mince pies, with a HUGE dollop of Courvoisier infused thick double cream.
Turkey, beef, pigs in blankets, gammon, roast potatoes and stuffing in a gravy lake, bollocks to the veggies!
Half a tin of Quality Street.
A case (or 2) of Old Speckled Hen.
Bring on the gluttony!0 -
i feel like this but iv also trained myself to be quite reluctant to gorge... i know now when im full and i know when to stop. .... after maybe 3 or 4 mince pies and 5 or 6 glasses of brandy )0
-
I know it seems a waste...but I have been exercising a lot more this week in pending of xmas. I think I will be doing the same next week to make up for it LOL. The problem that I have (and I suppose alot of others) is the days after! So a cheat day is a great opportunity. BUT I have to remember to hide or throw or dodge the rest of the left overs so Im not eating till long after New Years! Hmm maybe a trifle also would be yummy...oh and some wine...vodka....ROFL!~0

Baileys and coffee..yuuuuummmm! Will be indluging in this as well christmas eve. Christmas night i work so i can't then. poo
Turkey, homemade baked mac and cheese (its a southern thang;) ), rolls, sausage balls, pie, French cookies. Oh yea, i will be a glutinous fool and i don't mind. It is just one day.0 -
Yeah, I don't really care what I eat....cookies are going to be entering my belly by the back-ho-ful....as well as pie.0
-
Going on an ultimate binge. Not a single **** is given.0

We are already getting our Christmas on this week and I managed a 6lb loss! I'm loving the Christmas flavours and smells! I'm making Khalua Christmas mousse and will definately be having some! I'm pretty sure my goose fat roast pots are a one off treat too but I will enjoy responsibly! Happy Christmas everyone!
Ooh as a side note! It will be interesting to see if people manage to break their plateaus with the 'holiday calorie spike' it might encourage more people to stop starving the weight off!0 -
I haven't decided yet for completely pigging out or at least somewhat sticking to my calorie goal-However, I will be fighting my family members with forks for my mamaw's turkey dumplings. She makes them in a giant pot and I could easily consume half of said pot.0
-
I'm not sure I can gorge anymore (or really want to), but I will be having a breakfast of bacon and sausages, dinner of goose and roasted veg (in the goose fat, of course), and munch all day on homemade Chex Mix and the Lindt Lindor Truffles hubby better put in my stocking!0
-
Not completely pigging out but am not going to stress if those little extras jump into my mouth......
Have a good one!!! :drinker: :drinker:

Ooh you are so good!
I always buy enough party food to feed a family of 8 until February. Did I mention there's only 3 of us?! Dodging the leftovers will indeed become an obstacle course for the rest of the holiday!0 -
Hahaha This thread CRACKS me up- LOVE IT!!!
No debate here- dont worry!!
Im getting stuck into that PORK CRACKLING baby!!!!!-with LOTS of SALT!!!!!!, turkey with all the trimmings, prawns... And following it up with pudding, custard, pavlova with LOTS of cream and washing it down with LOTS OF champagne....and I AM GOING TO LOVE IT!!! YIPEE!!......That will be followed by a nap and a twinge of guilt but only for about 5 seconds because its ONCE a year- HAPPY DAYS and then back on the straight and narrow after that!!!
Merry Christmas

Love this.
Damn right. I'm with you on this. I'm giving myself 3 days of total (and I mean total) indulgence. There's cheese, there's biscuits. There are 4 kinds of pudding with brandy and rum sauce. There are sausage rolls, mince pies, mini pasties and loads of other things wrapped in pastry.
That's before we get started on the alcohol. Oh the Christmas Cupboard Cocktails will be flowing by 11am Christmas morning.
Its the most wonderful time of the year :drinker:0 -
Baileys all the way for me :happy:0
-
Oh I am sooooo in!!
I love everything to do with Christmas...but the food HAS TO BE the highlight! Sorry...but how miserable would it be to deny yourself on Christmas day!! You have 364 other days to do that!!! :laugh:
Totally going to be a greedy little monster with everything... but this is what I am most looking forward to!
Cutting my rich, yummy fruit cake on Christmas Eve!
Sprouts with bacon and chestnuts on Christmas Day Dinner! (Not exclusively of course...but probably my favourite bit!)
Panforte and Brie on Boxing Day!

I am totally with you there. Its the only time of the year I'm allowed to choose the pork joint because I get the one with the most crackling and fat I can find. Let hubby have his dry old, low cal turkey. I say bring on the pig fat!!!! :drinker:0 -
I am not going to gorge but I am not going to deny myself anything.
I find these days though that a little of what I want suffices - although I am sucker for Prosecco and Bailey's [not together] and when I drink I do tend to nibble.
I have planned my meals up until 28th but know that on Christmas Day and Boxing Day I will be off the charts - other than that I should be OK?
I am not going eat for the sake of it like I used to but I am not going to refuse anything I do want.
Merry Christmas to you all and I whether you decide to stay on plan or not I hope everyone has a wonderful time!0 -
Like the person above, i wont go too mad but i wont be counting my calories or turning down any extra treats! :}0
-
A couple of days or gorging will only knock you back a couple of weeks, perhaps more if willpower is the main struggle. Lots more weeks in the year. Go for it!0
-
I'll still be counting calories. I find it amusing to see how bad it can be.0
