Preparing for the Holidays

I thought I'd share with you what I did to "prepare" myself for combat at the umpteen family gatherings we have up at this time.  We all know family gathering = food, and lots of it.  


I went to a high end chocolate shop and bought myself some sugar free chocolate (truffles, if you will).  I packed them up into 4's and froze them.  Yesterday, I went to my inlaws and while everyone else was enjoying "Sex in a pan", I was munching on my dessert and didn't feel like I was sacrificing anything!  It was great!


I think if you prepare yourself rather than depend on willpower, you can have a great sugar free Christmas!  I am so excited that this may be the first Christmas that I don't gain 5 lbs!!!! WOO HOO!!


Hope this helps some of you.....
