    I was wondering if I should let go and eat what I want on Christmas though. Thanksgiving I didn't pig out, I was actually under my calories. But Christmas is a big event in my family and there is always good food served. I don't know though. I'll have to eat less for a week I'm guessing before christmas.

    Keep it clean every day you're NOT going to a party and make it a goal to not skip ANY workouts for the month. Indulge a little at parties but what I like to do is look at what's being offered and ask myself whether I can eat it the rest of the year. If the answer is yes (like cheap appetizers you buy at the grocery store), skip it. If the answer is no (like your Great Aunt Meg's sticky toffee pudding she ONLY makes during Christmas) then YES! Have a slice! Indulge but don't OVER indulge.

    Does that make sense? Feel free to friend me! :)

    I love this idea. I have a really hard time not over indulging during the holidays. Why have I never thought of this before? It totally makes sense to avoid what you can have whenever and indulge in what you can only have once a year and maybe in smaller portions than I would have before my weight loss journey.

    Thanks for the tip

    Don't think of the holidays as a free pass. And don't skip meals. If you have a party at night factor in that you may eat more there so have a satisfying breakfast like eggs with oatmeal. Maybe a salad for lunch with lean protein. Then you can eat a
    Title more at dinner but load up on the good stuff. Skip fried foods and skip the desserts. If skipping the desserts is too hard at least make better choices like not having a slice of cheesecake and having some fresh fruit instead.

    Go to a party after eating yourself full.

    Eat mostly healthy snacks, but allow some indulgence too. Cheat days are ok, keep your body guessing... But don't overdo indulging.
