Just moaning a bit... I know what needs to be done....With all the crazy running and shopping have not been planning/shopping/eating as I should. On top of it all, the holiday goodies are appearing in the house as others attend parties and such. Been very weak in resistance.

Need a major trip to supermarket to get right things in house and will re motivate this week. Hoping to at least hold steady til fill in January, if not lose a few.

Hope everyone is hanging in there and enjoying the holidays despite the abundance of food forever flowing! LOL

Tracy, good luck and know you aren't alone. All the goodies and parties and family gatherings scare me!!!!

Mimi

They scare me too. I am flying to South Africa on wed to visit my Mum and Sister for 6 weeks. Mum has probably been baking for weeks filling the freezer with mince pies, welsh cakes and all the other things she makes so well.

HELP!

elcee: Make sure you take a tiny spoon with you. That way, you can taste your mom's wonderful foods w/o going crazy over them. It worked for me at T'giving!

Will do. Thanks

First holidays with band are sucking, I hate all those goodies are slidder foods! I baked all my goodies using the Splenda granulated to help me out some, and in my cookies subsituted part of the flour with wheat flour. Applesauce for the oil, egg beaters for eggs. Did whatever I could to save the calories and preserve the taste. Not to shabby if I say so myself and I feel a little less guilty for slipping up..:willy_nilly:
