I've battled to loose 54 pounds in the last 4 months and now I'm just trying to get through all the Christmas festivities and not blow it! You can still have fun, just be disciplined about eating the right things afterwards and most of all exercise, exercise, and exercise some more! The day after I've allowed myself to have a little fun food, I eat only lean protein, like egg whites, deli turkey, or rotisserie chicken. The following day I add my fruits and veggies back in. The reason why is the protein helps me get my blood sugar back on track. If you keep eating lots of sugar or carbs on top of one another it will make your energy level spike and drop rapidly. That will cause you to get into a vicious cycle of eating for energy and then getting exhausted from the sugar drop. As I said earlier, you are so smart to get a handle on it now! It's not rocket science, it's discipline. Have a wonderful, blessed Christmas with your families!
