I am finally back online after a move from the Netherlands, to Texas, and now we're finally settling into our newest home - Louisiana!! It's been crazy, and all of the fast food has eliminated all of my previous efforts...I feel horrible, look horrible, and still have to make it through Christmas before any real effort kicks in. I've decided to not restrict through all of the cookies, candies etc, but rather to practice moderation...seems much more realistic. I hope you are all doing much better than I! I am really looking forward to being back in touch, and back on track!!

The holidays are hard. I decided to have a free day on Christmas, and to do my best to stay with the plan until then. I have three Christmas parties, and that makes it hard. I have one under my belt. I did fairly good, but had a couple of treats.
As far as enjoying in moderation, I totally agree with that, and I find it is easier to enjoy treats in small portions if you first fill up on protein and veggies. At my last part they had croissant sandwiches for the main food, so I discreetly threw away the white bread and just ate the meat and cheese, and ate plenty of shrimp. I wasn't perfent, though! I had some candied pecans(way too many) and 2 no-bake cookies. But I didn't gain because I did'nt go hog wild and I went right back to the plan. A lesson I had to learn was that one slip won't ruin you as long as you don't give up. The week after Thanksgiving I went hog wild crazy and kept saying, "I'll start back up on my diet tommorow", and gained 5 pounds that took me two weeks to lose in the first place. You definitely will feel better and gain less weight if you do your best throughout the holidays, and pick and choose which treats are most important to you, rather than waiting until the new year.
