Great post!! I suck at holidays. Thank God we don't celebrate thanksgiving, that's one less holiday to worry about. But I'm going to 3 celebrations in the upcoming 2 weeks. Two of them are family events (with dinner, drinks, the works). So I definitely need some tips.
The only thing that I've tried and worked, is to eat a full dinner before I go to the party. Mainly lots of cooked veggies and grilled chicken. That minimizes the urge to nibble throughout the event. But once we sit down to eat, ah well..

Well, I'm just going to have my dinner and call it a day. I'm going to eat what I want, and let it go. I think if you've been dieting for that long, and have lost that much, who cares about one day. Besides, you're stomach will have shrunk by then, so a little may go a long way. Also, you might restrict yourself without even knowing it!
Just don't tell yourself "I can't have this because," or "I should onle have a slice because." Meh. Eat. You'll be fine. And you know what? So what if you gain a pound that day (excluding water). You lost so much already! Give yourself a break.
I don't like bread and such, so I think I'll be okay. It'll mostly be meat and veggies for me. I think that'll work in my favor.
Worse come to worse, count callories, and give yourself 2200. I will, I think.
I sound random because I'm tired. Sorry! LOL

PS- My advice don't try the monkey bars until you build some arm strength!
