    Embrace the tasty treats! Work them into your diet instead of working against them. Ask yourself if you want to never have a seasonal treat again or if you want to enjoy it guilt free. I'm not advocating eating a dozen cookies in one sitting, but having a sweet treat is not the end of the world.

    I broke my sugar addiction pretty solidly and have started making my own Paleo treats for special occasions. I'm not worried although last year at this time I sure was.

    I've always thought that what is eaten in Circle, stays in Circle.... but it's a bit hard to justify that third bread cake at around 300 cals per cake! :laugh:

    Ritual food is important, and guilty feelings are definitely counter productive. So moderation and move on is my philosophy.

    I will not worry about the holiday treats I have because I've decided to add a lil extra exercise for the entire week prior to each holiday. That way I'll have no guilt interfering with the good energy of the day!!! :)
