It is always nice to get together with family for the holidays, and of course there is always lots and lots and lots of goooooddddd food!! I told myself it was one meal, and I was not going to stress about calories, or remaining on track because it was only ONE MEAL. I decided that I couldn’t fully forget the diet, so I decided to compromise. I would use a small plate, and try to just have a little bit of the goodies. Small portions vs. low calorie. I ate way too much, which is still not as much as I would have eaten in the past. I suppose that is a good thing. The BAD thing was that all afternoon, I went back for no-bake cookies!! Bad! I think I had 5-6 of the buggers.

The side effect of such behavior is very obvious today. I still feel bloated and lazy today, and I want to snack really bad! I have been religiously eating one morning and one afternoon snack. Period. Nothing in the evening, no extra snacks. This is really my downfall because I just love snacks. Ok, I love food in general, but I daydream about snacks, desserts, fat-filled foods. I thought I had the cravings kicked in the rear, but I guess I took a baby-step backwards.

It was definitely a learning experience, which I’m going to chalk up as such and move on. No serious damage done other than getting to re-fight the snack battles. I think extra exercise this week will help get me past the cravings. When I do have snacks, I’m making them very low-cal snacks, so I don’t regain my lost weight.
