    I'm feeling a bit like a hypocrite this Holiday season. I'm trying to lose weight by eating healthy and exercising but my gift every year to everyone else is baked goodies. I may have to rethink this.

    This is so true! Even the Medifast ladies and the part time trainer at my job bring in decadent goodies during all the holidays...I don't see them actually eating them though.HMMMMM......

    Haha! This made me laugh because this is exactly what I do. I'm the baked goods and cookie queen at work and at my church. I put these tins together of chocolate-covered pretzels, chocolate-dipped everything, cookies, peanut butter balls, rice krispy treats drizzled in chocolate and powdered sugar, etc and etc. it's wonderful... but oh so not healthy. LOL.

    Seven meals over such a stretched period of time isn't enough to sabotage you or anything even worth stressing about.
    Just enjoy your smaller portions, eat right in between the events and enjoy the season! :drinker:

    Its a great idea in theory! But I am not someone who needs to tempt myself or slow down my progress :) I will end up quiting.
    Seven meals can easily put you back 10lbs when they are in a two month period.

    But, to each their own!! Happy holidays!!! :drinker:

    Halloween = SUCCESS
    I remembered I had some sugar free chocolates at home and treated myself to 2.
    No harm no foul. YAY!!!!!

    Next is Thanksgiving ... God give me strength.

    OH and the fair is in town... BRILLIANT! :noway:

    There are signs that say:

    FRIED CHEESECAKE
    FRIED SNICKERS
    FRIED COOKIE DOUGH
    FRIED BUTTER (SERIOUSLY I SWEAR)
    FRIED OREOS
    FRIED TWINKIES

    There is no way I can be trusted in there.
