  • I have about 10 days a year that are "feast days!" Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, Easter . . . . . you get the gist. On these days, I allow myself whatever I want to eat. I execise a little more around these days, and I don't declare every Sunday a "feast day" (which is how I got fat to start with!) but life is…

  • Okay, I'll make you a deal. How about no weighing until the Saturday before Thanksgiving?

So I allow myself two meals a week that I can have virtually anything I want (within reason!) Having those two meals a week to look forward to…
