Heh, I didn't even bother to start dieting in December since I knew I'd set myself up to go wrong. I suppose that's why so many people do it after the new year.
I started just before it, so I didn't feel like one of the many doing a New Year's resolution that they never stick to.
But hey, you did good in December! A lot of people wait past that one month, so kudos to you. 7 pounds during the most fattening month of the year is a ton. Congrats!!!
And really... who WOULDN'T refuse Aunt Soandso's fudge?
