Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas or a happy holiday! Why is it that we give ourselves so much grief over one day or one week of eating poorly? I know I got down on myself for eating too much turkey and sweets... It does me no good to get down on myself... or you to get down on yourself.

So I am getting back on the right step... but I do have a question! If you were able to make healthy choices in your eating habits, did you feel deprived? If you didn't feel deprived, how did you do it?

I think I could eat healthy until everyone starts pulling out all of the homeade sweets and big fancy dinners... then my will power goes right out of the window!!! I need a solution to not feeling like I'm missing out on something I won't get until the next holiday. Does anyone have any suggestions???

You don't have to miss out eating the homemade sweets and treats. You can taste them, but don't eat an excess amount of them! I know that sounds hard, but this is where will power gets some practice!

During the holidays it is okay to enjoy. You can still workout during this time and you can workout extra hard for a few days after the holidays!

I picked out my absolute favorite things to eat and ate those. To be 100% honest though, There was a little fuzzy math with the calorie counting with weight watchers on Christmas day. I didn't do too bad though.

Fuzzy math is A-okay in my book... at least you are looking at the calories and keeping them in mind while you are eating... I wish I could say that I was even trying to do the math... I ate so much that I couldn't see my toes to do the higher math anyways !
