    I'll be at work for both holidays, so that will help keep my cravings at bay. I'll still have my share of turkey though.

    According to a friend of mine..it's not what you eat between Christmas and new year that counts but what you eat between New Year and Christmas..

    Good one! I'll have to remember this one... :flowerforyou:

    Strangely I work out way more in the winter than I do in the summer. So I'm not overly worried about the holidays. I just try to prevent the binge or the overstuffed feeling. I host Christmas for my in-laws so I know everything on the menu, but at my mom's house it's damn hard to control myself. I'm more worried about tonight, the amount of mini chocolate bars in my house is going to kill me.

    I eat what I want. This would never work for me if I had to deny myself the foods I love on occasion.

    Everything in moderation, never deprive! I'm definitely getting a gooooood workout in on Thanksgiving, doubt I'll do any on Christmas, but we usually don't have a big Christmas dinner anyway.. I'm thinking good Omelets in the morning and as usual throughout the day? Unless we go out somewhere. Who knows. We'll see!

    If I can, I try to get in a workout in the morning and while I don't seriously overeat, I do eat what I want on holidays. I try to limit what I eat at parties, though, outside the actual day.

    We have food on the holidays that we don't have at all the rest of the year, so I want to enjoy myself. I didn't gain weight because of what I eat two days a year.

    I'll log but I'm not overly concerned on 3 days out of the year.
    There are certain foods I will AVOID or severly LIMIT but that is because they may taste good, but I'll feel like crap and be in the bathroom in pain later and then once that's done, I'll break out like a 15y.o. with acne....not worth it.
    If it's a meat or vegetable - I'm there!
    Pie will just set my body into a tailspin but I'll probably have to have a bite of someone elses.
    I'm considering skipping a family thanksgiving all together b/c they make me uncomfortable with HOW MUCH food they eat

    I love this! I plan on taking a vacation with my bf to visit both of our families for at least two weeks. During those two weeks, I will try to be as active as possible and make good food choices when it's easy to, but I'm not going to obsess over what I eat.

    Of course I'm going to be destroying some pie and casseroles and eggnog and beer and wine and champagne!!

    I spent some time thinking about this and I decided Thanksgiving Day and XMas Day I'll eat whatever I want, but my problem has been that the calorie-fest just kept on going from Thanksgiving all the way to New Years. Not this year! Any (unhealthy) leftovers will be given away or thrown out and if I'm given bad food/candy etc. as a gift for XMas I'll give it away.

    I don't want to undo all my hard work. Two days won't undo it, but two whole months of mindless eating will!

    I've never dieted through ANY holiday before..so this year will be interesting. I HOPE to plan it out and keep portions under control.
