ITS CHRISTMAS EVE, let's make Merry!  I'm still  a big kid waiting for Christmas morning. 

Now for the reason we are here: 

Tell the whole truth and be accountable.  How have you altered your perspective on food and holidays?   

- Enjoy the festivities!  It is an arduous adjustment but force yourself to see the celebration as primary and the eats further down in the the line of reasons to part take. 

- Select foods carefully and with forethought.  Consider issues of imediate or delayed gastrointestinal distress and leave the trigger foods alone.  Food is still enjoyable and holiday far especially should be enjoyed.  We must force ourselves to enjoy differently.  What to eat is more than for weight loss and maintenance. 

Worth repeating: 
-  Have a plan for selecting foods before heading out (or opening your home) to the festivies.   
-  Have a plan for your week that incorporates your Merry Christmas.  
-  Have a plan for your calories and stick to it or pay back any excess.   

An apropos cliche:  Failing to plan is planning to fail. 


...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.
