My mom's famous punch, yes it has Ginger Ale in it so with the carbonation, I'm out! Oh well. She did say she would set some aside for me and let some Ginger Ale go flat so that I could have some of it but it's loaded with calories so I think I will pass. She is making some of my brother's favs that I'm not a fan of so for me I will eat Heavenly Ham, veggies to go along with it that my mom said she would cook for me, of course I will help. One of our family's traditions is a dish called a cheese loaf, yummy, I will have to partake in a small piece of that. She asked me today if I wanted her to make Chex Party Mix and I said nope, don't want it around and she was good with that. She said I had come too far to put a couple of lbs on during Chistmas. I will miss the punch tho. Bahumbug...on the punch.

Sandie Cookies my family makes every christmas. they are my absolute favorite.. but thank god.. I am in florida and not california! so that much easier for me! lol.. if I were there, I would no doubt have at least 1.

I live with my mom heck! And family is coming in but she is my accountability, she's my food police, lol.

Just curious, what happens to you if you drink something carbonated??

I hear this a lot.....

It sort of expands in your tummy & hurts. My dr suggested that if want a Xmas bubbles to put a pinch of salt in it, it helps it to go flat. Just 1 though.

My dad who passed on October 29 at 92 years old and all my weight loss so far, 78.7 pounds.

Merry Christmas Everybody!

i am guessing the only thing i am gonna be missing is having my son/daughter in law and grandbaby home for the holidays.....but i get the in laws.....does that count?

My favorite pecan pineapple cream cheese pie I make. I havent had it in three years but its to die for but not worth the 1000 calories in it for me.

Guess I should add, my head hunger was getting to me last night and I was missing "food items". I will be thankful for my brother and his wife coming in and of course my mom whom I live with, she is 73. However I will always miss my dad, he's been gone 10 yrs due to a massive heart attack and years of obesity until his latter yrs, he died weighing 135, he lost the weight on his own, something I wasn't able to do but now with lap band I can achieve.

No issues with carbonation here but I know some get an upset stomach with it
