    I'm going to eat lots of chocolate and my dinner of ham and mountain of mashed potatoes with gravy, and I am going to enjoy it!
    One day every now and then of won't kill my success so far, I'm going to eat what I want and not log it and then go back to logging and within my calorie goal the next day :).

    What worries me is the day after Easter and all the candy on Clearance. I love PEEPS. HAHA, but so far I have been really good and have not purchased any.

    Lets see. Load up on Easter Candy. Go for a 2 hour walk. Continue with life. Sounds like every Holiday.

    I started with MFP the Monday before Thanksgiving. What on earth was I thinking??? Well, it worked out very well. I ate holiday meals, some holiday treats, and lost about 15 pounds by mid January. Yes, I did eat well over my recommended calories on Thanksgiving day, Christmas day and on New Years, and there were a few other spikes in my calories over that time period. For the holiday meals, I planned out what I was going to eat for the most part so I knew ahead of time that I would be over what MFP recommended, but I did not want to feel like I was missing out on my favorite foods. Overall I ended up eating less at the holiday meals than I would have if I had not been recording my food. Most of the time I went about doing what I set out to do here; logging my food and attempting to stay close to the calorie recommendation. Planning and recording my food seems to be a good strategy for me to handle food at during holidays.

    Won't be logging, not too worried... everyone can still be sensible with their choices and portions around the holidays, even if it's 'bad' food.

    I'm not...the Easter bunny stopped coming to me a long time ago. ;) The only thing I will be indulging in is turkey dinner; however, that can be quite healthy.

    Not very. 'Special' days usually only subsist of one meal and I'm not much of a candy eater in the first place, I actually doubt there's going to be any candy. There wasn't last year.

    hate to break it to you, but you didn't gain 7 lbs of fat (half a stone) that didn't budge because of one day. it was due to ongoing bad diet.

    eat a sane amount of calories daily. for special occasions here and there, enjoy yourself. it's our daily norms that make or break us, not special occasions that we celebrate with feasts.

    Im more worried about not getting a chocolate bunny than anything to do with calories in it

    I had no idea that Easter was dangerous. I eat a little candy and whatever else is there that I want. It's only one day. Not a big deal. I don't worry about holidays. It's only a few days a year. The rest of the year I'm right on track. :drinker:

    I'm scared witless so I'm going to get some loonies to kill me then bury the body in a stone tomb.

    I hope to miraculously emerge after festivities are over.

    If all goes to plan I'll drop a few lbs, apparently due to the lack of carbs.

    I hear that such behaviour is not without precedent.

    I'm not too worried about easter dinner (I don't eat potatoes or stuffing) my plate is usually turkey with cranberries on top and tons of veggies and pickles! I'm particular like that.

    My biggest concern Os all the easter chocolate the bunny will leave for my son. I have a sweet tooth.

    I admit it, I'm slightly worried! I know my flatmates have got me eggs and my parents usually get me some too. I don't usually like chocolate but there's just SOMETHING about Easter that makes me crave it. I have no self-control during that weekend -__- Maybe this year will be the year I change! You never know. Plan, plan, plan and everything will be okay (:

    I am hostng Easter. Not really worried it is one day. I am making ham, carrot slaw, potato salad and lemon bars. My guests are bring things too and I plan on sampling everything. Like I said it is only one day. I will portion everything log in and weigh in the next day. Then work out hard all week. It is not like I plan on eating like that everyday.

    Me too! But I don't eat marshmallows, so no peeps for me. It's all the chocolate I'm worried about!

    I am not worried about Easter at all. I plan on enjoying a day off of work and eating as I would any other day.

    Im a little worried as this is the first year I get to host a family dinner. Plus I will have 6 kids 9 and under. I am sure there will be tons of candy. I plan to make a ham and some sides and one or two desserts. One will probably be a weight watchers recipe, the other will be bad for everyone!

    I should probably plan this out!

    I'm not so worried; I've learnt good portion control and if I know I can only work in 1-2 Easter eggs I know it won't turn into a crazed chocolate-frenzy. But gawd, does it suck how many calories are in chocolate! Deliciousness comes at a hefty price. Today I had a look at a small Chocolate-chicken thing, and the crafty buggers had '1 serving' listed on the nutritional info, and written that the whole thing was 3 servings total! Yea, because I'm not going to eat the whole thing in one go. It was TINY!

    Check your choccies, people.

    I'm not worried about Easter at all..... I have done so well and lost almost 15 lbs to fall back into bad habits of over eating and bad choices... My willpower is stronger than ever... I want to look as good as I feel wnd live who I see in the mirror. If I cave in, I will regret it

    My family and I don't celebrate any of the "holidays" so it doesn't bother us. They are all just another day. We've made the most of the cadbury's creme eggs being around and had 2 of those each but that's us done lol.

    I am always worried about days when dead people start walking around.

    HAHAA

    win

    my mother always buys me like three eggs aha bless her, she still loves to buy her children easter eggs no matter how old they are or the fact they have their won children
    so i've said to her this year ONE EGG MOTHER! ONE!

    I've avoided all those easter egg aisles this year to stop temptation from buying and just pigging out ;)
