I made it through my first family Christmas party today. I ate no desserts! I did so well. I actually got up and walked around to visit when people were eating pie!

Yay! That is really great!

Does it ever make you wonder why we eat so much at this time of the year? I think it must be because we are trying to fatten up for that winter hibernation.

I bet you're feeling accomplished. That's a great feeling when you can pat yourself on the back. Dieting is like a constant obstacle course!

That is great! You did so well and I admire your determination!!

I think the problem with parties is that we tend to eat and walk around. I saw so many people with something in their hand while they were walking around. There were containers of candy everywhere - on every table. There were plates of cookies too. I just made it a point to carry my water bottle with me and that kept me from eating.
