My mom is making Christmas Dinner and she knows our food restrictions so unlike Thanksgiving I won't have to bring much of our own stuff, only mashed cauliflower!

So right, Calisto!

It is strange being praised for being "so strong" when I know it's to my advantage to stay 100% through the holidays. I remember really going nuts from Christmas to afte New Year's. to them it looks lie I'm strong. To me, I'm just continuing on. Why wouldI want to delay reaching my goal when I'm getting closer and closer?

I was just at a family function and brought my own stuff. Everyone was so interested in what I was doing and happy for my me. Next year maybe I will even swap clothes with my beautiful cousins.

Thank you for the inspiration. Choose to eat some meat pie yesterday and it is tough to not fall off the wagon completely! After all the other goodies, potlucks, etc. that I've managed to not indulge in, this is possible.

Here's my committment to be 100% on plan for the holidays!
