Shar's right...you can't gain that much that fast by just a quick binge...but do be careful that you don't throw your body out of its new mechanism of burning fat instead of carbs.

Drinking water will help, also get in some really good walks outside...power walk, move your arms and breathe deeply as you go.

I'm going to bake about 200 dozen cookies on Saturday, all kinds of Italian goodies, simple ones, stuffed ones, you name it. I'm FIRST going to bake some LC stuff for myself and keep it at that.

If that's what it takes, fine. The holidays will be over in no time, and if the damage is kept to a minimum, we should all be doing okay at the New Year!
