Okay, so kicking the Holiday Habits is proving to be harder than I expected.
See, I told myself at Thanksgiving that if I could maintain my weight, versus not gain, over the holidays, I would be very happy.
In making that agreement with myself, I indulged more often than I have been since starting WW Online because I didn’t have to try to LOSE anything. I convinced myself “I’ve gotten my metabolism up, established good habits, this piece of cake won’t be too bad… this cookie, it’s just one… I can’t have pumpkin pie without Cool Whip… “
Now, to be fair, I have maintained for the most part, but the holidays are over and I’ve found that I have truly slipped back into that night time craving for a snack – and haven’t been very good about resisting. Not only that, but I’ve made bad choices when friends have invited us out to dinner because I just couldn’t resist that bacon cheeseburger with smoked gouda and fries.
Tomorrow is my weigh-in day and I have the sinking sensation that the one pound I mentioned previously may have become two or three in the wrong direction on the scale.
Tomorrow I’ll lie to myself chalk up my “Lady Days” for this week of weakness and then I’ll walk away with a new goal. It’s me against old habits and I am determined that those snacky habits can be broken again.

You can do it, your mind is set! its a new year and a new day! Sometimes when you weigh in you are pleaasantly surprised! If not, don’t let it get you down, you can be rid of them in days.

Lady Days count for being able to slack a little. But now that you know the pitfalls, you will overcome them

I agree with the holiday habbit thing. It’s harder than I thought regardless of how ready I am.
Still, you can totally do it. You’re ready!
