My goal for this holiday season is to stay ON PLAN 100% because I have been to goal weight twice already over the past 8 years and EVERY time I went off plan it was because I decided it would be okay to indulge in high carb foods over the holidays. Does. Not. Work. For. Me!

I have found acceptable lc substitutes for just about anything I would want/usually have, so it won't be hard for me to stay the course. I may have a few more lc desserts and I may eat a few more carbs than normal and I may gain a couple lbs from that....but I refuse to end up with those nasty cravings that always turn into me never really getting back to my woe and then gaining weight back.

For me this really HAS to be a way of life - one that I really do stick with forever. Even on the holidays.
