I'm just eating whatever I want, I'll get back at it on Tuesday. If there's one thing I've learned in ten years it's that a few "over" days isn't the end of the world and I can't eat enough to do any real damage, anyway.
Okay. That's two things.2 -

Me either..im finding even looking at treats im like no thanks0 -
It's so great to see I'm not the only one giving myself a bit of a break (still keeping to my exercise plan though!)
Also very jealous/impressed at those of you not tempted1 -
iv been eating ALOT of potatoes and veggies. I have stopped tracking calories and just focusing on eating only "healthy" non processed foods in the time leading up to christmas. Simply because i know this way im kept full of goodness and am less likely to just blow everything on sweets. Alot more damage to be done with cookies vs vegetables its helping me alot to keep cravings at bay. Seriously its sweet because im a strong willed determined little *kitten*, Until baked goods come into play and i lose control. Which makes me uncomfortable. I hate losing control. Eating nice and low salt/sugar high nutrients has kept me craving the healthy foods and feeling nice and slim. But when the 25-26th come around, Best believe im going to eat whatever i want Maybe by then ill not even want them as bad (will honestly be interested in seeing lol)
Side note- iv actually lost weight eating this way without tracking calories. go figure0 -

Until one holiday when I reminded myself that I had binged out on previous holidays and you know what... I didn't die, I didn't suddenly wake up the next day 100 lbs heavier, it wasn't the end of my journey and did not stop me from succeeding
So if I caved again, big deal, the results would be the same, so why even stress about it...
And almost magically, that urge to just eat a whole freaking pie to myself was gone!
@Mr_Healthy_Habits Great stuff!
Amazing how moderation is psychological and we're not all powerless against The Cravingzzs!!1 -
I’m clearly missing out on some holiday treats0
