Anyone else fall off the wagon in December?

I tripped, back into it starting yesterday

December has been pretty good for me. I didn't fall off the wagon as such, I had 2 days planned that I was allowing myself to go over. The rest of the time I have been tracking rather well. Even though I had those days off, I didn't eat anywhere near as much as I usually would at Christmas. So no not really.

More like stepped off! I planned not to log for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Trying to get back on the wagon from today. Seems like a lobg way to step up though!

I also allowed myself the same days off but i've got to say, i've never been so happy to be logging again today. 3 days of eating what i want has left me feeling so sluggish and tired, i couldn't possibly take another day of it lol. Saying that though, it's 11am here and by probs around 4pm onwards i'll be feeling nice and empty again compared to the past 3 days and i'll be wanting to raid the christmas food again haha. I'm going out on NYE though so i have to be good now, don't want to look like a bloated beached whale haha.

Yep - not only did I fall off the wagon, I fell off, killed said wagon, dragged it into the woods and ate it. Along with all of the yummy festive food it contained.

However, I'm a firm believer that it's not what you do it's how you react to it. It's done and what I do now is what counts which means putting my running shoes back on and burning off what I can

Good luck to all of you like me, that are getting back on track BEFORE the new year rather than riding it for as long as possible xx

Good luck to you as well, i know a few people that are waiting untill after the new year to start again but personally i couldn't do that, if i was to allow myself to carry on till then i could easily gain about 8lbs no joke so for me it's all about damage limitation, i'll be allowing myself new years day off cause we have a big family mea together but untill then, 5 good days of logging can make such a better difference than 5 days of not logging lol.

Yes, fell off the wagon completely! It's the snacks at work that are the worst. My willpower is not very strong. It will get better! ALSO, I may have gained a couple pounds back, but I won't gain them all back! I'll enjoy the snacks as long as they last, and get back into healthier habits again soon!

I actually was very disciplined...but that's just my personality...when I set my mind to something, for the most part, I will stay the course. I guess I look at it this way...nine months ago I decided to make a lifestyle change and be committed to losing weight. In those nine months, I've lost 59 lbs and I don't want to go back to the size 22W's! I like picking up a size 12 and being able to actually put them on and they fit properly and plus I still haven't reached my goal so I'm not trying to go backwards!!! LOL....so I guess that is what motivated during Thanksgiving and Christmas to stay the course, eat a few things that I normally wouldn't eat, log EVERYTHING and stick with exercising and I feel great about it, I haven't been over my daily calorie allowances and don't feel as though I need to get "back" on course! I wish all of you a FANTASTIC 2013 and continued success in meeting your goals!

Ive struggled the whole year

I totally fell off the wagon and have no regrets, I wanted to enjoy my holidays with my family free of worry. I think I gained about 5 pounds and now I am ready to get back on the wagon. It's nice to know there are others out there who have fallen off the wagon too.

I haven't worked out (though I have had some very active days) since the first week in December, and my eating has been atrocious. I'm dreading stepping on the scales. Going to use the New Year as a new beginning, though. I get paid again on January 4th, and I'm planning to go to Whole Foods and stock up on some good, healthy foods and I'm planning a monster workout for New Year's Day.

Edit to add: That is not to say that I don't have plans to get back on track in the mean time, though. Never a good idea to put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

Hey , try to think of them with smelly breath , in a string vest and scratching their bottom, this should be enough to make you laugh at least ! xx
I really did well over 2011 , okay this year until December when all my old habits gradually resurfaced. I weighed this morning and cried. i am feeling better now and am putting my "plan " in place and could really do with just a person to talk to occasionally .
I am glad you are back and WELCOME x

yes, but I weighed myself this morning. Not horrible, I am up about 10 lbs. since my low this summer & 7 lbs. above my BMI. But today is a new day. Thanks for posting, I need the motivation.

I gave up and jumped off the ledge and hit rock bottom the middle of Novemeber... The fella I was dating for 3 years that I thought I was going to marry and I broke up... I'm devistated... We officially broke up on christmas...

If anything, I took this month even more seriously. On Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, I could be found in the gym. Not sure where I got the motivation from, but I'm glad it hit me. I don't see myself stopping either.

You ROCK!!!!!!!... (laffing) I too found my way to the gym & mostly had it to myself Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Shared an hour of it with that guy I'm totally crushing over because he sings with his earbuds in too.

I try not to eat it if I'm not going to burn it!!

Hahaha, fall off the wagon? I fell off the train and it has been a wild ride since. Cookies, candy, pie, ice cream- what was I thinking? Oh yeah, I had to compare neighbors chocolate chip cookies to MIL's. (neighbor's was better). I felt ill at work today my pants were so tight. The Christmas pictures I won't even post to my family with the big moon face and double chins.

But, do I regret it? Not a bit. Okay I put on maybe 5 pounds but it was worth the family and friends time. Now onward to 2013!

haha this is exactly how i feel
