Thanksgiving was great, but I am tired of food already, and it's only December 3rd. Seriously, why do we always have to have food around. And it's not that it's just food, it's that it's SOOOOOO much food the table creaks under the pressure!
I admited to my husband that I needed his help to get me thru the holidays. His parents house for Thanksgiving, although a heart healthy desination, was still full of food. My MIL was constantly cooking, wanting to feed us, making us eat. I went to bed with indigestion more nights than not.
So, we've planned our defenses for Christmas, which will be spent with my family, who are notorius butter smugglers. We're going to tell each other when to stop (just like drunks are supposed to do in a bar). No really, he is going to help me naviagate the foods of the season, so that I don't end up a life-sized fruit cake.
I've also resigned myself to the fact that I will have to do the cooking, so that I can cook and eat the things that I know will not be harmful for my diet. I don't mind that really, the trick is keeping things safre from my Mom's butter dish. She likes to slather on that stuff.....
And as for my goal....I have 7# to go. Can I do this before the 21st? I hope so.

Only seven pounds. Congrats!
Myself, I encourage people to cook foods I'm allergic to. My birthday party at work? Chocolate cake galore. Everyone loved it, I had to pass since I'm allergic to chocolate.
That way they could eat all they wanted and I could pass.
