Seriously wondering if my willpower is going to be up to the challenge, especially since Christmas day is my very last shot. *sigh* If only I'd found out about this diet a few weeks sooner!
I will be ending P2 3 days early so HCG will be out of my system and will try to make P3 friendly recipes, I did make it through Thanksgiving w/o cheating though
The nuts are the least of my worries! Pumpkin apple bread and potato salad are my biggies. Mmmmm. And the in-laws make the most delicious cinnamon rolls Christmas morning. AND I got my hubby some Cafe du Monde beignet mix that he's gonna make. (Big mistake, should have waited til his birthday.) *bangs head against wall* I don't know how I'm going to stand it!
I won't be done with P2 until almost mid-January! I am sad not to have the eggnog and the christmas dinner but I figure I can sacrifice it because next Christmas, I will look so much better. My mom is doing the diet with me so we can support each other. We must stay strong!
I think I would have more willpower to stay on it during Christmas if my dang clothes would just fit a little different, or heaven forbid I drop a pants size. I've lost 22 pounds as of this morning (just completed week 4) but have barely lost any inches. That makes it just a little bit harder for me to think about missing out on all those holiday goodies, but I'm gonna try my best to stay strong and stick with the diet.
I'm missing the egg nog this year, but I figure there will be other years. Besides, after I get all done with this, I can make my own egg nog and drink it without fear and without guilt, knowing it's not going to make me blow up like a balloon.
lol Smart girl. I considered waiting til after the holidays, but I'm a new mom and have taken exactly 2 pictures with my 11 month old daughter I've been so ashamed of my weight. I decided that couldn't wait for the new year, I wanted the pounds gone now.
I'll be right there struggling with you guys this christmas. I'm on R1P2D13...so I have until early January :( at first i thought it would be no big deal. but the closer it gets, the more i feel a little sorry for myself LOL.
