Forget about dieting?

same is the case with me i forget about low calorie and high calorie thing i just do my thing at that time thats is eating

I agree festivals are not for dieters...here we do that at Christmas time! we practically celebrate all month!

Although some of our holidays are supposed to be religious, I often feel they are an excuse for over indulgence. This weekend is a weekend of picnic foods and outdoor celebration. However Halloween candy has been in the store for a week or two.Oh, and we have State Fair, with fried twinkies, fried snickers, fried koolaid, etc. then Halloween We jump from Halloween to the ultimate in over eating, Thanksgiving. Then we are well into all the Christmas feasts and baking, and so forth right up to New Years Eve. New Year's Day everyone starts on a diet again. Until Valentines Day.

Just eat to your heart content without feeling guilty about it all. It is perfectly alright to enjoy a big feast in Malaysia's style once a while during the year, so that you will not miss out on all these delicacies prepared by local ccommunity which are the most tasty food you ever found on earth.

Hi Zandi, happy to hear you are having a wonderful time during this great feast. Same like you, i had visited a few of my ex-colleagues home and having some nice and delicious food. What's your favorite dish during that moment? Mine is the delicious "rendang and ketupat". Indeed, i had to left my diet for a few days, since i don't want to missed-out the chance to taste those delicious delicacies. I will back to my usual self, eating less again by next week. Trying to slim down for my new year party...

There are sometimes really it make us forget about dieting. Especially when there are festivals, social gathering and feast. I enjoy my food and I always refrain from taking as much as I can, still thou there are some occasion that contributes to weight gain.

the only holidays we celebrate with family and freinds is the 4th of July our Independance day. Thanksgiving we give tahnks for a great harvest and CHristmas for the life of CHrist

Sounds like y'all have a really good time. The only relegiouys holiday yjay we have here is Christmas & people have forgotten the real reason for it.

You certainly shouldn't really be thinking about being on a diet when you have special events such as those to attend. I think that if you have something special, you don't want to ruin the atmosphere of it by having to think about what you're eating and drinking. As long as you're strict with yourself on other days, it seems almost cruel to deny yourself treats on special days when everyone else would be enjoying themselves without being restrictive in the slightest. It is my 21st birthday in two days time, and I know that I am not even thinking about what I'm eating on that day, providing that I am able to get straight back into my diet and exercise regime the very next day.

I don't think we have that same festival here but when it comes to free food, you can count me in and expect me to forget about my diet all too quickly. I can keep a tight diet but when the food is being offered free, I can forget all the diet I've made so far and not feel guilty about it.

I forgot to move when i see the delicious food there.LOL.Just go and do what you want to do.People all feel so happy when we celebrating festivals,and we drink and eat together.It is such an amazing experience when people get together,so,forget about dieting,and just enjoy.

It is strange how people gain weight during Ramadan despite the fact that we are fasting. I have been converted two three years ago and have noticed that I gain weight in Ramadan. I tend to eat a lot during the allowed time and we also tend to refrain from doing work during these days, and yes for the holidays, we visit friends and food and sweets are everywhere. It has become a routine for me that during Ramadan, I forget about my diet and a week after the holidays, I start to go back to my diet again.

We used to celebrate a lot more feasts than we do now and we don't emphasize the food as much as we did. When we celebrated all holidays with family we ate a lot more. Now we usually spend Easter alone and concentrate on the spiritual meaning of the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus. Our meal is no more fattening than any other these days -- no special deserts anymore. We also concentrate on the religious aspects of Thanksgiving and Christmas, as well as the joy of seeing what's left of my family. We do prepare the tradional foods with healthier side dishes than are traditional. We, the younger generation, are more willing to break some traditions. On Thanksgiving and Christmas we do indulge in traditional deserts, but since it's usually at my brother's house, we don't normally have leftovers, so the eating season is short. Probably the biggest religious feast we have is Slava, which is a Serbian Religious holiday. Most people have never heard of it. If you are one of them, you can read about it here: Slava: A Serbian Orthodox Celebration at http://www.squidoo.com/serbian-slava. It's a much smaller celebration since we moved here. I'm thankful for that, and kind of hoping to turn it into a more quiet celebration as we age. We have no children to pass our candle to. My inlaws passed it to us when they were about the age we are now. It's not easy to make the special ceremonial foods and be ready to feed anyone who comes when you have no idea how many will be coming. So I'm ready to retire it to just family and very close friends when my husband is willing to do so.

Dear friend, it is not good to forget anything. Anyway you should not break the rules of dieting and it is a very important thing for anyone's life. It is not good for health.

Hello my friend zandi458 Ji, Well,I would add, that we come from a country, where therev are many religions celebrated round teh clock and tehy come to street as well like Holi and just passed Id.
