Zimmer Mon, 07 Sep 2009 00:11:12 +0000 http://www.fittothefinish.com/blog/?p=1081#comment-2606 Hi Diane, Holidays are always harder for me but since I have been dieting for a while now - I cannot eat as much as when I was younger. The tact I generally try to control is not to continue overeating the next few days! You see I reason that I can only easily eat an extra half-pound of calories so I feel free to have some of whatever looks good. By doing that I don't have the guilt too bad during the holiday but focus on not continuing it for days afterward. I just realize the days after will be tough and accept the fact that I will be hungrier for a while. :) My two favorite holidays are coming up, Oktoberfest and Thanksgiving! .-= John W.

When I'm in a situation where I feel a little overwhelmed with the food, I load up on low calorie, high volume stuff like a vegi salad, stc, and it's amazing how my stomach doesn't know I skipped the potato salad :-) I think restricting the amount you eat can be frustrating, but this way, you get enough to eat and it's not a problem. .-= Dr. J´s last blog ..<a href="http://feeds.calorielab.com/~r/calorie-counter-news/~3/nu2ydbkrJ2Q/" rel="nofollow">The trouble with shopping lists, golf is good for you and taking the harm out of soft drinks</a> =-.

That's my evil plan. :) I stocked my freezer this summer every time Publix had a sale on seafood, so I've got a lot of it. I'm grilling out salmon, scallops, shrimp and veggie kabobs. It's going to be great family time with food options I can feel good about. :) .-= Tammy´s last blog ..<a href="http://foodaddict-fromfattofab.blogspot.com/2009/09/two-goals-met.html" rel="nofollow">Two Goals Met!!</a> =-.

There is so much food around, and it is so hard to keep any sort of balance of what I eat. I either completely restrict myself and tell myself I am not going to have anything, or go totally overboard and pig out-- And then the guilt begins. I have done that myself too, where I've been at a public thing and restricted myself, only to a few hours later when I'm by myself, pig out on something else. I'm trying to work on balance though, and not associate food with feelings. I do know that when I have the unhealthy foods, I feel very sluggish and tired, and I have associated that. I feel better about myself when I do eat healthy. .-= Lori´s last blog ..<a href="http://sunflowerdaisies.blogspot.com/2009/09/2-mile-jog.html" rel="nofollow">2 mile jog!!!!</a> =-.

I think a lot of people can relate, and can know that change is indeed possible. Wow, that was a great post–a sad memory, but a testament to how far you’ve come in your journey!
