I absolutely love Christmas and everything it stands for. I love to celebrate the birth of Jesus and spend time with my family and I have so much to be grateful for. BUT... thank God it only comes once a year! If I had to go through life surrounded by sugar cookies and pie even the sleeve couldn't save me! Although I didn't do terrible I did discover that peppermint sugar cookies are very yummy and don't seem to affect my sleeve at all... bummer. Love it, glad it's over.

sugar Cookies don't seem to affect my sleeve at all... bummer..

glad you had a wonderful holiday

it is hard being around all those "yummies"

sure the meaning of christmas is wonderful - but allllll that goes with it - the food OMG

in the grocery store these past couple of weeks and christmas eve too............

its amazing what people put in their carts/food, cookies, candies, pies, Desserts et al!!!!

should it surprise anyone that people are so overweight???

don't understand why slider foods are the foods we love so - the sweets, popcorn et al

for example why the things like candy, cookies, popcorn, Protein bars

glad you had a wonderful holiday with family and friends

Oh, yes. No cookie, cake or candy phases me when it goes Down. So I try to steer clear butast week I lost the battle and have chowedp down too often on vanilla wafer cake, magic bars and no able chocolate oatmeal cookies. Sigh.

Yeah.. sigh... it was nice (and surprisingly easy) to get back to basics today.

Yup had a (single) day this season when I really lost the battle in terms of eating party food and paid dearly in comfort afterwards. However, I felt like I have won the war this Christmas in making good decisions about food even though surrounded my mountains and mountains of cookies, cakes, pie, candy and chocolates all the time. It is a tough part of the year, especially if you are maintaining. Kept within my range I wanted to stay in.

Good for you! I cookie led to 5 for me and I didn't feel sick at all. Wish I had. Other than last night's cookie fiasco I did good though
