This year was my first Christmas on serious plan (admittedly, December has been a bit of a write-off as I went to the gym about 4 times between my exams and dissertation proposal deadline) and I just gave myself off. I think it would annoy people to have me picking and not eating properly. These last few days I have been bloated as anything, but it was definitely worth it! And I weighed in at 202lbs this morning, so I'm pretty cheery about it.
Christmas only comes once a year, and it's the only time we get yummy pigs in blankets and trifle!
