During the holidays? Do you just pig out or do you watch what you eat during the holidays. Do you feel pressure to eat alot because of the amount of food? Do you look at yourself in the mirror after the new year and say, " You fat SOB" ?
I look at myself in the mirror everyday and say that:hihi: I try to eat a little of everything but only to the point I am full. When I get full the only thing I will make room for is some dessert if I haven't already had some.
This. I don't try to eat everything I see but I don't hold back either. Dieting during the holidays is for PC yankee jerks that say happy holidays rather than Merry Christmas. Not sure how that's relevant, just read something about PC and felt like taking a shot. :grin: Seriously though, don't diet during the holidays. You disgrace Louisiana by doing so. How else are we supposed to maintain our spot as the least healthy state in the US if yall keep trying to get in shape and stuff? :thumb:
i dont diet during the holidays. too much good food. but i do try to know "when to say when". actually, thats my approach to food all the time. eat whatever i want, just not too much of it. its just more difficult during the holidays. too much good stuff!
For 11 months of the year I very rarely eat dessert. I can't say the same for the 30 day period between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I eat just enough to make sure my clothes are good and snug. Nothing worse than your pants falling down while you are reaching for the pecan pie.
I start sampling as soon as the 1st dish is pulled out of oven/off of stove. sample a little of everything. when entire meal is complete, I serve myself a platter (plates are too small), try a little dessert, then go for seconds. snore through the 1st half of the Lions game, wake up and head to the next relatives house. repeat entire process, except snoring takes place durin Cowboys game. Bring a slab or two of dessert home with you to eat while watching a little of the Thursday Night game on NFL network. same schedule for christmas, minus the NFL games
