Hey &
Looking forward to seeing you around more ^^
#1 piece of weight loss advice given frequently here is that this is a lifestyle change... this is forever. So I'd better be comfortable with how & what I'm eating, because this is how it's going to be for the rest of my life. If I'm not happy with how I'm eating & exercising while losing weight, how can I expect to stick with my habits once I've lost it all? It all boils down to enjoying my food, enjoying my exercise, and enjoying my life.
And I haven't yet been looking for healthy holiday recipes, but your question reminds me that it's about time I start!
Best of luck to you!
