Hi, how is everyone doing now that we are on the home stretch of Chagim???
my weight was down the first few weeks, and then went up this week after first days of Succos. Have spent the entire day cooking again....
Lets all support each other through these last few days until life gets back to some sort of normality...
until then, Moadim LeSimcha to all!!!

    Time to revive this old thread.

    I just saw the מהרש"א in סוכה דף מ"ה who says that if someone doesn't overeat (and over-drink alcohol) on Yom Tov, it is considered as though he built a מזבח and brought the food and wine as an offering.

    Paprikas, if you answer this it will be your 100th post.

    I don't understand this. Did you mean that overeating is like an offering? (You wrote 'doesn't overeat'.)

    The food that you don't eat is an offering on the mizbayach.

    Wow, I just noticed this thread and thought"what a good idea for a thread" and realized that I had started it last year this time! These chagim are lovely but sooo hard for weight loss!!!! How are we supposed to keep perspective when we are dishing up multiple course meals multiple times a day for weeks on end?!? Yes I know we can and should just have soup or something light for the evening meals but it just isn't happening. Hang in there and enjoy peeps because next week we stop fressing!!!

    I am not sure who We are. I took a class on Sunday, yesterday, and I'm in the gym twice today. I ran too. I ate healthy food all of yomtov; just more than usual. I'm not displeased with myself.
