Hello!
I think you have to think of what you just can't live without. I have decided NOT to do the traditional baking I usually do during the Christmas season. I avoid the candy and goodies. But I do plan to have some pumpkin pie for Christmas dinner. I feel like I'm not being the wonderful HOST for my Mom this Christmas...but she's on Weight Watchers and I'm doing this. I'm sure she wants me to lose the weight more than she wants me to offer breads and cookies to her. I did make them a Mock Danish the other day and they both loved it. I just don't want to change my way of life for a time. This is working. This isn't a "diet" and I choose to do the best I can. Yesterday I went out to lunch with my Mom to a Thai restaurant. Boy, was that fun! I made the best choices I could and then enjoyed the meal.

Hope you enjoy the holidays! Do the best you can. Victoria
