As a Facebook poster pointed out - from November 1 to January 15 there are approximately 29 holidays observed by the world's major religions. So I assume that is excluding the non-religious holidays like Thanksgiving, New Year's Eve/Day, and even Veterans Day falls in there (although not a holiday known for feasting!). So - I wish everyone a happy holiday season - religious or secular!

But those feasting holidays!! So far I have made it through a family wedding, Thanksgiving, and the fancy work holiday party! I did well at all of them! Except the wedding, at each I had 2 bites of dessert. The regular food was really a no brainer as all had plenty of proteins. At the work party I even had seared duck breast and a little bit of sushi (tuna and crab I think). And couple of bites of carb items at Thanksgiving, potatoes and stuffing. All in all I think I did really well. Luckily everything was buffet so I wasn't having to refuse anything. And as my husband pointed out as I was eyeing the cupcakes - they don't taste as good as skinny is going to feel!

I hope everyone is doing well!
