Hey all! Since we are going into this during the most challenging month of the year, what are you all planning to do to channel your energy/focus away from food?

I have the pleasure in enjoying thanksgiving dinner and start my liquid diet on Nov 30th so my goal is to keep forcus on my Journey. The thought of a new Life in 2017 is all I'm striving for. Good luck

Binge watch my favorite holiday movies and sleep a lot haha but in all seriousness I agree with @sleevesia the focus on my journey and that I'm gonna be having this new amazing life, healthy skinny life! haha is enough to push me through the holidays and think by next holiday we will probably be close or at goal and we will be able to enjoy it but by then we are gonna know our portions and our limits and will get to enjoy all that yummy food and stuff again but in a more better way then just eating everything in site like I'm assuming some of us like myself do especially for the holidays

i start my liquid diet 12/2, surgery 12/16, then two more weeks of liquid... so pretty much the entire month of December will be spent not chewing. <that's CRAZY to me, but i just will focus on the absolute fact that it's just ONE MONTH and not forever and that in a year from now i'll probably half of the size i am today. eye on the prize, yo! that, and my girl turns 7 end of December, so i'll get to be home with her during for the holidays and birthday.

I watch a lot of youtube videos of fellow sleevers to keep me inspired. even though I want this so bad and won't jeopardize it for anything it's nice to see and hear other people going through it and to see where they have came from to keep you inspired..same as with this forum.
