    Christmas falls on cheat meal day for me...so it works out well. Might have a beer or 2 which I normally don't do, but otherwise I'm gonna keep it as healthy of a cheat meal as possible for a christmas meal.

    My family does the traditional 7 fishes... clams, oysters, squid, lobster, smelts, crab ... A lot of them are fried and go very well with a few cold beers. Ill most likely indulge in the food with out limit, and prob have a beer or 3. Lets face it , sometimes having to be in one house with the extended family is all the sacrifice one needs in a day.

    exactly. lifting weights isnt the meaning of life and i think alot more ppl would enjoy it more if they put it in context instead of it being a millstone around their necks

    Being a former fattie and seeing how ALL my family holidays revolve around the kitchen. I will have a "little" bit of everything but I'll fill up on the stuff that isn't so calorie dense. But thats me. I know how hard I worked to lose the fat now even holiday food has really lost its appeal.

    I have been doing well. In the past I would put on 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The candy and treats I would get from vendors were the worst problem. So far this year I have had no problem skipping them. I have relaxed on keeping my macros exact, but I have stuck with my calorie count. This is mostly due to burnout, not the holidays.
